Exercise Spotlight – Face Pull

10/10/2019

 
Picture
The Face Pull is highly regarded as a magic pill or medicine for the shoulders. While this isn’t exactly true, it is a great exercise to help develop a strong upper back, balanced shoulders and keep those shoulder blade muscles moving well. Most gym programs are overloaded with pushing exercises so the Face Pull is a good exercise to integrate into everyone’s program to help balance out the demands of the shoulder. It is a very simple movement to do and will help you develop good control of the scapula which is the foundation for any movement through the shoulder.
Exercise Suitability:
Beginners: ✔️
Advanced: ✔️
 
What are the key technique points?
  • Pull your shoulder blades down your back and together as you start the movement
  • Keep your thumbs pointing down and elbows high as you perform the exercise
  • Reach long through your elbows as you pull them out to the side
  • Resist any momentum and try to hold the contraction for a second at the end before returning the weight under control
If you'd like to have everything taken care of for you then I offer both in-person 1-2-1 personal training in Glasgow and online personal training. You can check them out by clicking each option or send me a message now if you have any questions.
