Day 16 | Daily Dose of learning
This project is inspired by the ‘100-day project’, a challenge consisting of committing to doing an activity everyday for 100 days.
I have decided to write about one thing I learn everyday for the next 30 days. This can be a skill, a deep concept to elaborate on, or a mere life lesson that made me become aware of something I consider relevant.
The decision is based on the belief that “we are what we repeatedly do”, as Valentin Perez put it.
How to do dumbbell rear-deltoid flies
The dumbbell rear-delt fly is a weighted exercise targeting the posterior side of the deltoid, the main muscle group in the shoulder region. It can be performed in different fashions: in a bent-over position while on your feet, seated, using a machine made for the exercise.
While training at the gym today, I was corrected while doing the exercise mentioned. Because the form I was using was wrong. So, the instructor came over to me and bluntly acknowledged the very ‘bad-looking’ execution of the movement I was implementing. And promptly corrected me. So, today I have learnt how to perform rear-delt flies in the right way, targeting the muscle the exercise is supposed to target.
