About

Reverse pec deck fly strengthens your rear delts, upper back, and rhomboids. It boosts shoulder stability and helps fix rounded shoulders.

How to Reverse Peck Deck Fly

Starting Position

1. Sit on the pec deck machine in reverse mode.

2. Press your chest against the pad and stabilize your upper body.

3. Grab the handles and spread your arms slightly bent at shoulder height.

Proper Form

1. While spreading your arms back, slowly move the handles to the sides and back.

2. Focus on contracting the upper back by bringing the shoulder blades together.

3. Pause briefly at the final position, then slowly return to the starting position.

4. Keep your chest pressed against the pad throughout the movement.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you pull the handle back, and inhale when you return to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Excessive weight can put strain on your shoulders, so avoid it.

2. Do not keep your arms too straight; maintain a slightly bent position.

3. To avoid tensing your neck, keep your gaze straight ahead or slightly down.
