Bent Over Row to Reverse Fly: Build Upper Back Strength & Improve Posture with One Killer Combo

How to Do Bent Over Row to Reverse Fly? Step-by-Step + Benefits

The Bent Over Row to Reverse Fly is a compound movement that targets multiple upper-back muscles, helping you build strength, posture, and definition. This combo move hits your lats, rear delts, and rhomboids — all essential for a sculpted upper body and balanced physique.

✅ Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
  • Hinge forward at the hips until your torso is almost parallel to the ground.
  • Hold a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other, arms hanging down naturally.
  • First, perform a bent-over row: pull the dumbbells towards your ribs, keeping elbows tight to your sides.
  • Lower them back with control, then switch to reverse fly: open your arms out to the sides, keeping a soft bend in the elbows.
  • Return to start position and repeat.

💪 Muscles Worked:

  • Latissimus Dorsi (Lats)
  • Rhomboids
  • Posterior Deltoid (Rear Shoulder)

This combo move is excellent for improving posture, enhancing scapular control, and preventing shoulder imbalances — especially for people who sit or work at a desk all day.
