How to perform Suspension Trainer Rear Delt Flye

1. Face the anchor and take both handles with palms facing each other.
2. Lean back with the straps taut, arms reaching forward and the body aligned from head to heels.
3. Choose the stance and strap length so you can control the movement; a more horizontal body increases the challenge, while a more upright body reduces it.
4. Keep a small fixed elbow bend as you open the arms to the sides and draw the shoulder blades together.
5. Raise the body through that wide arm arc without bending the hips or pulling the handles into an elbow-bending row.
6. Reverse the arm arc to lower the body under control, keeping tension in the straps.
