Face Pull

Shoulders · Cable

How to do it

Rope at face height. Step back to load the cable, arms straight. Pull **towards your forehead while separating your hands**, finishing with high elbows behind shoulder line, as if showing off your biceps. Hold for a second. You feel it behind the shoulder and between the blades. It is the best insurance there is for the shoulders of someone who presses a lot: two sets per pushing session.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
