Description

The cable standing cross-over high reverse fly is an effective exercise for targeting the rear deltoids and upper back muscles.

Starting Position

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, grasp the cables with arms outstretched to the sides at shoulder height, palms facing down.

Technical Execution

Pull the cables in a downward and inward motion, squeezing the shoulder blades together at the peak contraction. Slowly return to the starting position.

Range of Motion

Focus on a full range of motion, extending the arms out wide and bringing them close together in front of the body.

Variations

Variations include adjusting the cable height, changing the angle of pull, or using unilateral movements for asymmetrical development.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include using momentum instead of controlled movements, rounding the back, and using excessive weight.

Practical Advice

Ensure proper posture, engage the core, and focus on a slow and controlled movement throughout the exercise.
