Tim's list of benefits for the Precor Rear Delt Fly
- Compared to free weight exercises such as the bent over reverse fly, the rear deltoid fly machine provides far more stability.
- There is little strain placed on your lower back and your core does not need to work as hard to stabilize your torso. You also don’t need to worry about the path of your hands, as the machine restricts your range of motion.
- In todays society so much time is spent in front of your phone or on your computer, the muscles of your upper back, like the rhomboids, are in a stretched position and you get that hunched over look. This exercise will help prevent, and correct that problem.
