How to do it

  1. 01

    Run a band around a stationary post like that of a squat rack.

  2. 02

    Grab the band by the handles and stand back so that the tension in the band rises.

  3. 03

    Extend and lift the arms straight in front of you. Tip: Your arms should be straight and parallel to the floor while perpendicular to your torso. Your feet should be firmly planted on the floor spread at shoulder width. This will be your starting position.

  4. 04

    As you exhale, move your arms to the sides and back. Keep your arms extended and parallel to the floor. Continue the movement until the arms are extended to your sides.

  5. 05

    After a pause, go back to the original position as you inhale.

  6. 06

    Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

In the app

Back Flyes - With Bands appears when you own bands and the day's window has room for it. Loads come from Rule 3 (Loads rise when earned, read from RPE, graded strong) and climb on the reps you actually did.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have bands

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
