  • Face pull

    Does anyone know what a face pull is?

    I've seen this exercise in a couple of people's blogs when they train shoulders.

        It is probably one of my most favorite rear delt exercises. It is one of the exercises that I plan on doing a vid of for our exericse index.

          seems like a great workout, i've never done it so to speak, put i do alot of cable pulls which appear simliar, just not the exact same in terms of specificity.

          You can believe I'm going to try it tomorrow on shoulder/back day!

              I really love these. I can definately feel it where I had a hard time hitting it before.

                They are def a great exercise.
                I had a couple clients with some terrible posture due to working on a computer all day. This with some other scapula exercises helped out quite a bit.

                      have them switch to sitting on a swiss ball instead of a normal computer chair.. just make sure they do it gradually, and dont buy a swiss ball and sit on it for 8 hours the first day

                        Interesting read. Had always wondered what those were.

                          these, along with rear delt raises (I do them laying face down on a slightly inclined bench, with about 10-20lbs per hand for 12-15 reps), are great for overall shoulder health.

                          I reached a point point about 1.5 years ago where I couldn't even put on my seatbelt due to severe pain/l;ack of flexibility in my shoulders. After ditch flat bench, adding in rotator cuff work, and these rear delt exercises, my shoulders are now completely pain free. I still perform internal/external rotations and facepulls/rear-delt flies, and believe these to be a huge help in staving off any recurring shoulder pain.

                          sorry for the long-winded post, just thought I'd share some personal insight
