Rear Delt Fly with Bed Sheet

The Rear Delt Fly with Bed Sheet targets the rear deltoids, helping to improve shoulder stability and posture.

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a bed sheet with both hands.
  2. Bend slightly at the hips, keeping your back straight.
  3. With your arms extended, pull the sheet apart, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Rear Delt Fly with Bed Sheet

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Rear Delt Fly with Bed Sheet using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your trapezius.
  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 trapezius 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.
