Power Sled Rear Fly

The Power Sled Rear Fly targets the rear deltoids and upper back muscles. This exercise enhances shoulder stability and strength.

  1. Attach the sled to your waist using a harness.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the sled handles.
  3. Bend slightly at the hips and pull the sled backward while extending your arms out to the sides.
  4. Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you perform the movement.
  5. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Power Sled Rear Fly

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Power Sled Rear Fly 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 deltoids.
  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 deltoids 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.
