How to do the Cable Rear Delt Fly
- 1
Adjust the pulleys to the appropriate height and adjust the weight. The pulleys should be above your head.
- 2
Grab the left pulley with your right hand and the right pulley with your left hand, crossing them in front of you. This will be your starting position.
- 3
Initiate the movement by moving your arms back and outward, keeping your arms straight as you execute the movement.
- 4
Pause at the end of the motion before returning the handles to the start position.
