SUPINATED CROSS BODY REVERSE FLY

The supinated cross body reverse fly exercise is used to strengthen the scapular retractors and shoulder horizontal abductors. This exercise may be completed on a cable pulley machine, functional trainer, or using bands. Start by anchoring a band to a stable object at roughly chest height. Hold a band with your palm facing up and raise it to just below shoulder height. Set your arm up so that it is across the chest with light tension in the band with your body standing in parallel with the band. Pull the band out in a straight line until you reach max shoulder horizontal abduction. Squeeze the shoulder blade back to retract the scapula simultaneously. Return your arm across your body to complete a repetition.
