Face Pull Overview

Face Pulls are an effective exercise targeting the rear deltoids and upper back muscles, promoting shoulder health and improved posture through a pulling motion using a cable or resistance band.

Muscles Worked

Equipment Needed

Cable Machine with Rope Attachment or Resistance Band

How To Perform the Face Pull

  1. Attach a rope handle to a high pulley on a cable machine.
  2. Stand facing the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, grasping the rope with an overhand grip and arms fully extended.
  3. Engage your core and maintain a slight bend in the knees.
  4. Pull the rope towards your face, flaring your elbows out and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause briefly at the peak contraction, ensuring your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
  6. Slowly return to the starting position, maintaining control of the movement.
  7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, exhaling as you pull and inhaling as you return.
