Tubing Rear Deltoid Flies workout

Video Transcript

"Rear delt flys are good for working behind the shoulder, posterior delts and integrity of the rotator caps. We have our feet, hip width apart and put that band right through the mid-section of the foot, always keeping a slight bend in the elbow when we contract and release. Nice, neutral, cervical posture, core, naval to spine, contract by pulling the shoulder blades together, elbows up to the side and release. That's not necessary to pull the elbows behind, that puts too much impinchment on front part of the shoulder, so we want to be able to see our elbows out to the side, so contract and release. Now if I want to make it tougher, I can crisscross my handles here, to make more of resistance challenge, contract and release. You should really feel the shoulder blades coming together. Ten to fifteen reps, three sets to fatigue."
