How to perform Band Reverse Fly with proper form

Setup

1. Equipment: Use a resistance band with handles.
2. Starting Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding the band with both hands in front of you, arms extended.

Execution

1. Grip: Hold the band with palms facing each other. Ensure the band is taut.
2. Posture: Slightly bend your knees and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight.
3. Movement: With a controlled motion, pull the band apart, extending your arms out to the sides at shoulder height.
4. Focus on Form: Keep a slight bend in your elbows and engage your shoulder blades, squeezing them together at the peak of the movement.
5. Return: Slowly bring your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

Key Points

• Keep your core engaged to support your back.
• Avoid using momentum; focus on a slow and controlled movement.
• Ensure the movement is felt in your rear deltoids and upper back.

Common Mistakes

• Allowing the shoulders to shrug up towards the ears.
• Overextending the arms beyond shoulder height.
• Using too much resistance, leading to improper form.
