Banded Y Fly

BeginnerResistance band

The banded Y fly targets the shoulders and upper traps, using a resistance band to keep steady tension across the whole movement. Raising your arms into a Y trains the shoulders through a plane that ordinary flyes miss. It's a good choice for building shoulder stability and reinforcing the muscles that support good posture.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Anchor a loop band to something solid at a low point.

  2. 2

    Grab the band overhand with a bit of space between your hands.

  3. 3

    Step back until the band has tension, then extend your arms in front with palms down, easing tension at full reach.

  4. 4

    Keep your core tight, back straight, and chest up.

  5. 5

    Raise your straight arms up and out overhead into a Y shape.

  6. 6

    Hold briefly at the top, then return to the start under control and repeat.
