I saw Jeff. C doing reverse flys with a L shape on arms instead of arms parallel to floor. What should be the correct method?
sorry can't link the video as I have less than 50 posts 😔

I stopped reading after Jeff C
seriously now, there isn't "the correct method"
Try different positions, pick the one where your post delts receive more tension

you can do them like this - L shape, I assume - this is a dumbbell facepull

Jeff makes a lot of videos with clickbait titles for views.
Either one is “fine” but also meh as far as rear delts are concerned.
Rear delts rows and swings would be better than either, and a reverse pec deck would be a better choice as well.Age: 30

I like to take sets to failure, so my approach is different. In my routine rear delt flyes(I do the type where you sit on a bench, lean forward to take your core stabilizing out of it) are done once, and then using same weight without putting it down I bend elbows 90 for a shortened lever arm, then do that way til I fail. Usually lets me squeeze out a couple extra reps that way, and I really feel it in the upper back. Used the machine backwards before but hated it, I felt nothing from it except it being a waste of my time. Tends to be my experience with all machines.

--The proper plural form of the Latin adjective biceps is bicipites, a form not in general English use. Instead, biceps is used in both singular and plural (i.e., when referring to both arms). The form bicep [sic], although common even in professional contexts, is considered incorrect. (from Wikipedia)
