Power Sled Rear Batwing

The Power Sled Rear Batwing targets the upper back and shoulders while enhancing overall strength and stability.

  1. Attach the sled to a harness and stand with feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Pull the sled backward while maintaining a straight posture.
  3. As you pull, extend your arms out to the sides, engaging your rear deltoids.
  4. Control the movement and return to the starting position.

How to perform the Power Sled Rear Batwing

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Power Sled Rear Batwing using your sled machine.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
