Cable Face Pulls

Muscles Targeted:

  • This exercise targets the rear delts, a commonly neglected part of the shoulder.

Form:

  • When it comes to form the most important aspect of this exercise is that we involve the traps as little as possible. To do this pull the rope toward eye level and keep the elbows high.

  • If the elbows drop at the end of the rep it’s probably because the traps are getting involved.

  • A great way to leverage yourself for this exercise is by extending your leg and leaning back.

Rep Ranges:

  • When using the cable I like to perform this exercise in moderate rep ranges so that I can use a heavier weight.
