The Cable Supine Reverse Fly is an exercise that targets the upper back and rear shoulder muscles. This exercise helps strengthen and tone the muscles of the upper body, improving posture and overall upper body strength.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Supine Reverse Fly, follow these steps:1. Set up a cable machine with a low pulley at the end of a bench.
2. Lie face up on the bench with your legs extended and your feet flat on the floor.
3. Grasp the handles attached to the low pulley with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and your arms extended straight above your chest.
4. Keeping a slight bend in your elbows, open your arms out to the sides in a wide arc, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly return your arms to the starting position, controlling the weight as you lower them back down.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
It's important to keep your core engaged and your back flat against the bench throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and prevent lower back strain. Start with a light weight and gradually increase the resistance as you get stronger. It's also important to focus on controlled movements and proper breathing technique during the exercise.
