Technique

How to perform Suspension Trainer Flyes

  1. Set the suspension handles low enough to perform the fly at a body angle you can control.
  2. Face away from the anchor, hold the handles with palms facing each other, and lean forward with the straps taut.
  3. Keep the torso and hips aligned, with a small bend in the elbows.
  4. Open both arms to the sides while keeping that elbow angle nearly unchanged and lowering the body under control.
  5. Bring the handles back together in front of the chest to raise the body, allowing the shoulder blades to move naturally.
  6. Repeat without turning the motion into an elbow-bending press or letting the lower back sag.
