![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see, they are all located around the shoulder and upper back region of the body. The rhomboids also kick in during exercises like a reverse fly and face pull (this involves pulling weight toward your forehead with a suspension trainer, resistance band, or cable pulley while keeping your elbows high). What muscles does the face pull work For the most part, face pulls work your lateral and posterior deltoids, which are the sides and backs of your shoulders. These muscles pull the shoulder blades toward your midline, as when doing a bent-over row, Novak said. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions. Trapezius (Upper Back) The muscles above play a key role in the execution of a face pull. The face pull is a back and shoulder exercise where you pull a resistance band or rope just above eye level toward your face, leading with your elbows. Extend your elbows to return to the starting position. Avoid “shrugging” your shoulders by squeezing your shoulder blades down and back. Stand back, and lean back slightly so that you have enough space to pull the weight directly towards. Bend your elbows outwards and, using the muscles in your shoulders and back, bring the rope in towards your face until your hands are by your ears. Face the machine and grip the ends of the rope firmly. Lean back slightly and extend your elbows to bring the rope in front of your face. ![]() Standing one step away, plant your right foot on the floor and take a small step backward with your left foot into a split stance, ensuring that your feet are slightly further than shoulder-width apart. Turn to face the cable pulley and place both hands on the rope with an overhand grip (palms facing down). Check out the video above to learn perfect face pull form. Connect the rope attachment and set the cable pulley at the top of the pole. Here are the instructions: Attach a two-sided rope to a cable pulley at about chest level. Youll work your traps, rear delts, rotator cuffs, and mid-back muscles as well as prevent against injuries.Primary Muscles Used:Back, Biceps, Lats, Posterior Deltoid, Rhomboids, Traps ![]()
