The Cable Face Pull is an effective exercise that primarily targets the rear deltoids, rhomboids, and external rotator muscles of the shoulders. It is an excellent exercise for improving posture, strengthening the upper back, and correcting muscle imbalances caused by excessive forward shoulder rolling.
First, place the cable pulley at chest height, then grab the handle in one hand with your arm straight in front of you and position yourself in front of the pulley.
This is the starting position.
From here, pull your arm back by bending at the elbow until your hand is at your ear or as far as you can with the elbow elevated. After this, slowly return the arm to the starting position. This is one repetition, now repeat this for the desired amount. Once you’ve done all the reps on one arm, if required in the program and you are able to do so, repeat the exercise and the repetitions with the other arm.
If you have limited gripping ability try using the Active Hands Gripping aids or D-Ring Aids clipped straight into the carabiner to make this exercise as safe as possible.
