  2. Stand facing the anchor point, holding the straps with both hands.

  4. Pull your arms out to the sides, squeezing your shoulder blades together.

How to perform the Suspension Reverse Fly Wake-up

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Suspension Reverse Fly Wake-up 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 glutes.
  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 glutes 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.
