How To Perform the Dumbbell Face Pull

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
  2. Bend your knees slightly and hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight, until your torso is nearly parallel to the ground.
  3. Begin the movement by pulling the dumbbells up towards your face, leading with your elbows and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Keep your upper arms parallel to the ground and avoid shrugging your shoulders during the pull.
  5. Hold the contraction for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled movements throughout.

Pro Tips for Dumbbell Face Pull

  • Keep your back straight and core engaged to avoid lower back strain.
  • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
  • Use a lighter weight to ensure proper form and avoid shoulder strain.
  • Maintain a neutral neck position by looking slightly ahead of you.
