Dumbbell Reverse Fly

Setup

• Hinge forward at the hips until the torso is close to parallel with the floor.
• Let the dumbbells hang straight down with a slight bend in the elbows.

Execution

1. 1.Raise the dumbbells out to the sides in a wide arc.
2. 2.Stop when the arms are roughly level with the torso.
3. 3.Lower under control back to the hanging position.

Breathing

Exhale as you raise, inhale as you lower.

Form cues

• Think of pulling the shoulder blades apart, then together.
• Keep the elbow angle fixed.
• Light weight, clean range.

Common mistakes

• Turning it into a row by bending the elbows.
• Standing up as you raise the dumbbells.
• Using so much weight the movement becomes a jerk.
