Lever Seated Reverse Fly (Parallel Grip)

Setup

1. 01Set the machine handles to the rear-fly position.
2. 02Adjust the seat so the vertical handles sit at shoulder height.
3. 03Sit facing the pad with the chest supported.
4. 04Take the parallel grip so the palms face each other.

Execution

1. 01Sweep the arms out and back with a fixed slight elbow bend.
2. 02Keep the palms facing inward through the whole arc.
3. 03Stop when the arms line up with the shoulders and squeeze.
4. 04Return under control without letting the hands slam together.

Checkpoints

• -Palms stay facing each other from start to finish.
• -Arms travel level with the shoulders.
• -Chest stays against the pad without pushing off.
• -The squeeze happens in the rear delts, not the lower traps shrugging.

Common mistakes

• -Rotating the wrists mid rep and losing the neutral grip.
• -Rowing with bent elbows instead of sweeping.
• -Using momentum from the torso.
• -Cutting the end-range squeeze short.
