Rear Delt Fly Machines

Rear delt flies target the rear deltoid muscles located in the back of the shoulders. When you use a machine to perform a rear delt fly, the controlled range of motion isolates the delts, meaning you aren’t using other muscles and joints to help stabilise yourself. This ensures that you are working with proper form and technique without unnecessary strain, which in turn minimises your chance of injury. 

The rear delt is often a dual machine - the pec fly/rear delt. Performing a cable rear delt fly comes with aesthetic benefits, too by giving you a more defined back and shoulders. Posture will also be improved, and, on a functional level, performing any pulling motions in your day-to-day life will become easier. 

The muscles targeted when using the rear delt fly machine are primarily the posterior deltoid, but the rhomboids and middle trapezius are also worked. The deltoid muscles move the shoulder joint, and the rear deltoid is a small but vital muscle which stabilises the shoulder joint and helps you pull your arms backwards.
