Category

Target
Delts

Using a parallel grip on the reverse fly changes the wrist and shoulder angle slightly compared to a standard grip, which some lifters find easier on the shoulder joint while still hitting the rear delts and upper back through the same horizontal pulling arc.

How to Do the Lever Seated Reverse Fly (parallel Grip)

  1. Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your chest against the pad and your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Grasp the handles with a parallel grip, palms facing each other, and keep your arms slightly bent.
  3. Exhale and squeeze your shoulder blades together as you pull the handles back and outward, away from your body.
  4. Pause for a moment at the peak contraction, then inhale and slowly return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
