Shoulders

Face Pull

Starting position

  • Cable at head height, grip the rope overhand.
  • Take a step back, arms straight, stand tall.

Execution

  • Pull the rope to your face, hands apart and past the ears.
  • Elbows high, squeeze the shoulder blades at the end.
  • Return slowly.

Common mistakes

  • Too heavy: the upper body leans back.
  • Elbows too low, which turns it into a row.
  • Shrugging the shoulders.
