#Cable Face Pull Exercise Form

4 Face Pull Mistakes (And How to Fix Them!) 🔴 Mistake #1: Overhand Grip An overhand grip isn’t necessarily wrong, but an underhand grip is more optimal for isolating the rear delts. 🔴 Mistake #2: Elbows Too Low If your elbows are below your shoulders, you're missing out on optimal rear delt engagement. Instead, pull with your elbows above shoulder level, around ear height. 🔴 Mistake #3: Pulling Too Low Pulling toward your chest/neck places more emphasis on the traps and less on the rear delts. Instead, aim to pull toward your face, around eye level to maximize rear delt activation. 🔴 Mistake #4: Hands Too Close Together Your hands may start close together, but as you pull, gradually spread them apart, finishing wider than your ears for full rear delt engagement. ✅ Fix these mistakes, and you'll get the most out of your face pulls! #facepull #facepulls

Not confident in your face-pulls? I gotchu 🫶 This exercise is amazing for improving shoulder & rotator cuff health. But it’s also one that’s not as intuitive. Here are my best form cues to help optimise your movement: ⭐️ Grip the rope with a reverse grip - ends of the rope should face you as you pull. ⭐️ Set the cable height above your head height so you are pulling from a high position rather than low. ⭐️ Think of pulling to your forehead and outwards from your ears. ⭐️ Make sure your shoulders are depressed away from your ears and externallly rotated. ⭐️ Think of pulling into a double bicep flexed pose! 💪💪 Note: there are more ways than one to perform this exercise, but these are some tips to help better target your posterior delts and strengthen your shoulders. #gymtips #facepull #shoulderworkout #pullday #gymmotivation #exercisetips #formtips #strongshoulders

Rear Delt Cable Face Pull - Quick Tips & Key Points ✅Grip: Start with thumbs pointing down. As you pull, your thumbs should rotate to face your head, with palms mostly facing each other and slightly downward. This grip reduces wrist strain. ✅Elbow Position: Keep your elbows in line with your shoulders. Don’t let them drop-this helps fully activate the rear delts. ✅ Forearm Vertical & Pull Toward Forehead: Keep your forearms close to vertical and aim the rope toward your forehead-not your chin—to better isolate the rear delts. ✅ Outward Arm Movement: As you pull the rope toward your face, also spread your hands outward. It‘s a combined motion -pulling back and out-to maximally engage the rear delts. #arms #homeworkout #workoutathome #gymmotivation #gymgirl #fyp #gymtips #shoulders #shoulderworkouts #upperbodyworkout #homeworkout #dumbbellworkout #strengthtraining #facepulls #back

✅ Cable Rope Pull Variations (KNOW THE DIFFERENCE‼️) If you hold the rope (with pinkies up and thumbs down) and pull towards your forehead, you’ll target the lateral and rear delts.

The facepull is a misunderstood exercise imo. It’s not the best exercise for hypertrophy but can serve as a good functional exercise training external rotation. Thus, the way I recommend performing the movement is taking a thumbs pointed back grip and leading with the hands. #fitness #gym

While there are multiple ways to perform Facepulls depending on your goal, in my opinion, the method that makes the most sense is gonna be to train external rotation of the shoulder. The other common way is usually to bias the rear delts but considering that there are probably better exercises for that, the first option makes more sense. With that understanding, the things that you should be focusing on when you’re doing face bowls for external rotation is to: 1) Grip the rope with your thumbs facing back. This will help you avoid any wrist discomfort that might occur. 2) Get into an externally rotated shoulder to begin with by leading with your hands in the most contracted position. Your hands and elbows should be aligned with each other, like you’re doing a front double bicep. 3) Aim the rope for the top of your head rather than your face. This will help you get into that external rotated position. Great exercise to include if you’re more anterior dominant

The seated face pull is a great variation of the traditional face pull because sitting down helps reduce momentum and keeps the focus on your upper back and rear delts. To set it up, attach a rope handle to a cable machine at about upper chest or face height. Sit on a bench or the floor facing the machine and grab the rope with both hands using a neutral grip. Extend your arms fully so there is tension in the cable. Sit upright with your chest tall, core engaged, and shoulders relaxed. From this position, pull the rope toward your face while leading with your elbows. As the rope gets close, allow your hands to separate so the ends of the rope move toward the sides of your face. At the end of the movement, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together and contracting your rear delts and upper back. Slowly return the rope to the starting position while maintaining control and tension in the cable. Key technique tips: Keep your torso upright throughout the movement Lead the pull with your elbows, not your hands Avoid shrugging your shoulders Control the return instead of letting the weight pull you forward The seated face pull is excellent for improving shoulder stability, posture, and upper back strength, making it a valuable exercise for anyone who lifts weights regularly. Strong upper back. Stable shoulders. Better posture. #facepull #upperbacktraining #rear delts #shoulderstability #strengthtraining 💪

CABLE ROPE PULL VARIATIONS. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. 👇 Cable rope pulls don’t all hit the same muscles — your grip + pull direction changes everything. This video demonstrates on how to target rear delts, traps, and lats with cable rope pulls. (face pulls) Pull to forehead → Rear delts + lateral delts → Elbows flare slightly out → Think: separate the rope + rotate back ✔ Best for shoulder strength and definition Pull to shoulders → Rear delts + traps → Elbows slightly lower than forehead version → Think: pull apart, squeeze upper back ✔ Best for upper back thickness & posture Pull to waist → Targets lats → Keep elbows tucked closer to your body → Think: drive elbows down and back ✔ Best for back strength and width Small adjustments = completely different stimulus.
