Face pulls are a strength training exercise that targets and strengthens the muscles in the upper back and shoulders, particularly the posterior deltoids, rhomboids, and middle trapezius. The exercise also helps improve posture and stability in the shoulder joints. The primary muscles worked in face pulls are the posterior deltoids, while the secondary muscles worked include the rhomboids, infraspinatus, teres minor/major, and lower traps. The exercise is performed by fastening a rope handle in a high position on a cable pulley, gripping the ropes with an overhand grip, and pulling the rope towards you by letting your upper arms move straight out towards your sides while simultaneously rotating your forearms up. Other tips for proper form include focusing on pulling to the chin or neck area, spreading the hands apart a bit, squeezing your abdominal area and glutes, and breathing out as you pull back.
