Shoulder Exercise 8 — Reverse Dumbbell Flies

How To:
Protocol: 12 reps
Primary Muscle(s): Rear Deltoids
- (1) Grab two dumbbells and bend over so that your torso is at a 45º angle. Keep your back straight.
- (2) Squeeze your shoulder blades together and powerfully raise both arms directly out to the side. They should stay in-line with your chest.
- (3) Hold the contraction for .5 seconds at the top and slowly return down to the bottom.
Pro Tip: Hold the contraction at the top for 2-3 seconds to burn out your rear delts.
