#Face Pull Cable 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

Fix Your Facepull! 1) Use an underhand grip (thumbs facing you) 2) Keep your elbows slightly above shoulder height 3) Pull the rope toward your face — not your chest 4) Pull the rope apart as it reaches your face Size & Shred Training program 👉🏻 deltabolic.com (link in bio)

✅ 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. If you hold the rope (with a regular neutral grip) and pull towards your shoulders, you’ll target the rear delts and traps. If you pull towards your waist, you’ll target the latissimus dorsi.

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

Week 11 of Train It Right Seated Cable Face Pulls THE exercise for upper back gains 👀
…and one of the best moves to counter train your rounded posture from long hours of sitting or scrolling 😉 How to do the Rope Face Pull: - Set the cable at eye level when standing - Grab the rope with an underhand grip (overhand works too). - Sit about one meter away and lean back slightly. - Pull the rope towards your face, elbows out to the sides. - Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end. - Return slowly with control. Watch for common mistakes: - Pulling too low (to chest instead of face). - Shrugging the shoulders instead of engaging your back.

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

🔥 Face Pull: Traps or Rear Delts? It’s All About Elbows 💪@appyoucan Cable face pulls aren’t just a shoulder exercise — they’re a precision movement. Your elbow path and scapular control determine whether the load shifts toward the rear delts or the upper traps. • Elbows wide and level → more rear delt focus • Slight elevation with strong scapular squeeze → more upper trap activation Small adjustments. Big difference in muscle engagement. Train with intention — not just movement. Goal: Hypertrophy & Posture Balance 3–4 Sets 12–15 Reps Slow controlled tempo 1–2 second squeeze at contraction Per Week: 2–3 times per week (ideally on upper body or pull days) Rest: 45–60 seconds between sets Don’t just pull the rope. Pull with purpose. Save this and come back stronger. 🔥
