Hammer Strength Select Pectoral Fly/Rear Deltoid

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy should a pec deck be?
For beginners, it is advised to start with a lighter resistance, as that easily allows 8-12 repetitions with good form. Advanced or well-trained gym enthusiasts can exercise with an increased range of weights, and that too without compromising the range of motion. The Hammer Strength Select Pectoral Fly/Rear Deltoid progresses gradually as it tracks the improvement; the right weight of a pec deck ensures muscle contraction, and it does not feel like swinging.
Is a pec deck good for the chest?
Yes, the pectoral deltoid machine trains the muscles effectively, training both inner and outer fibers. It helps in improving both muscle definition and symmetry; by pairing the exercises with pressing, this helps in controlled movement and also reduces the risk of injury, which is higher in the case of handling free weights.
Is hammer strength good for the chest?
Yes, the brand Hammer Strength is a trusted gym equipment brand worldwide by a large number of people. It provides the natural movement paths that also reduce the stress on the joints. Multi-angle machines, like the pec rear fly or pec deck, allow targeting different parts and muscles of the upper body, especially the chest. The pressing machine focuses on pectoral muscles, and the Hammer Strength Select Pec Rear Fly is one of the best options for this.
How to hit rear delts with a pec fly?
By adjusting the seat and handles of the pec fly, you can move the machine by pulling backward instead of forward, and then it can easily work in a reverse fly pattern. To perform them smoothly, keep the elbows bent and lift horizontally to the sides, avoid excessive weight, and prefer doing them with nominal weights. Heavier weights can force the momentum, which may result in reducing the rear deltoid engagement.
Are pec fly and rear delt the same?
No, they are not the same; these are different machines. The pec fly is used for training chest (pectoral) muscles. Whereas the rear delt is strength equipment that focuses on building the shoulder posterior muscles. Pec fly brings the arm together in the front, and rear delt lifts the arms backward. There are dual-function machines also available by which both the movements can be performed by adjusting the seat and handles.
What muscles are worked in the rear delt fly?
With a rear delt fly, the shoulder muscles, known as posterior deltoids, are commonly known as rear shoulders. Also the upper back muscles are strengthened with the rear delt fly. It stabilizes and aligns joints better, creating balance without straining the muscles. It also helps improve back posture and upper-back strength; it is preferred to do with chest exercise for overall upper-body strength training.
