Lever Isolateral Seated Reverse Fly (pronated parallel grip)
The Lever Isolateral Seated Reverse Fly (pronated parallel grip) primarily works the Posterior Deltoid, with secondary activation of the Infraspinatus, Lateral Deltoid, Rhomboids, Teres Minor, Trapezius (Lower), Trapezius (Middle) and stabilizer support from the Triceps (Long Head), Wrist Extensors. It is a machine isolation exercise at beginner difficulty.
A machine isolation pull exercise targeting the Posterior Deltoid.

Instructions
- Preparation: Sit in machine with chest against pad. Grasp parallel handles from inside with thumbs down at shoulder height. Execution: Keeping elbows pointed high, pull handles apart and to rear until elbows are just behind back. Return and repeat. Comments: Pronated grip will internally rotate shoulders so elbows are kept at height of shoulders. Preventing elbows from dropping below shoulders will minimizeLatissimus Dorsiinvolvement. Withthumbs down grip, shoulder must be deliberately internally rotated to keep elbow at proper height. Some machines allow for a more neutral overhand grip.
