Reverse flys with a band activates your rhomboids - the muscles in your back that stabilize and pack your shoulders. They should be performed by anyone in the prep phase of their workout. Beginners can also perform these to set the building blocks for more advanced upper body exercises that demand strong neutral spine. Learn how to perform this exercise in this training video brought to you by Inflict Training.

Take Action

  • Activate glutes
