TRX Y Deltoid Fly
When I first saw someone perform the TRX Y deltoid fly, I thought it looked ridiculous and had no idea what it was for. And then I tried this exercise, boy was I surprised, it is a great shoulder exercise. The most interesting thing about this exercise is that it works your deltoids the way a shoulder press would.
Primary Muscles Used
TRX Y Deltoid Fly Instructions
- Start by anchoring the TRX Suspension Trainer slightly above head level. You can have it higher, but this is my ideal position.
- Stand upright facing the TRX anchor, keeping feet shoulder width apart, and holding onto the TRX handles with an overhand grip and your arms extended.
- Step in closer to the anchor point, so you are now leaning back at around 30-45 degrees. The more you are leaning back (your feet farther forward) the more difficult the exercise will be.
- From this leaned back, straight-bodied position, engage your shoulders and proceed to pull the TRX handles up over your head, forming a Y with your body.
- Lead the movement with your hips and keep your arms straight.
- Lower yourself back down to the starting position.
- Repeat.
Tim's list of benefits for the TRX Y Deltoid Fly
- In todays society so much time is spent in front of your phone or on your computer, these muscles are in a stretched position and you get that hunched over look. This exercise will help prevent, and correct that problem.
- With the TRX straps you can perform this exercise anywhere that you have an anchor point.
- If your shoulders will not allow an overhead shoulder press, this exercise is great for building up strength in the deltoids working you up to performing the overhead press.
- Strengthening the deltoids help give you the V-taper look, making your waist look smaller.
