Also known as: Incline rear delt ring flys.

Technique

  1. Place your body at an angle, holding the rings in front of you.
  2. Pull the rings apart and back to the sides, retracting the shoulders at the end of the motion, then slowly go back to the starting position.
  3. Placing your body more vertical will make the movement easier. Choose an angle that is challenging but still allows you to keep good form: no swinging or using momentum, no arching of the back.
