How to do Rear Delt Fly

  1. Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand, then hinge at the hips until the torso is nearly parallel to the floor.
  2. Let the arms hang straight down beneath the shoulders, palms facing each other, with a slight bend in the elbows.
  3. Brace the core, set a flat back, and lock the slight elbow bend in place for the rest of the set.
  4. Open the arms out to the sides in a wide arc, leading with the elbows toward the ceiling.
  5. Squeeze the rear delts and the middle of the back together at the top of the lift, pausing briefly.
  6. Lower the dumbbells under control over 2 to 3 seconds back to the hanging start position.
