#2 Rope Face Pull
The face pull is an intermediate strength training exercise that activates the muscles in the back, shoulders and the forearms.
Instructions:
Step 1: Stand in front of a high-pulley and secure the rope attachment using both the hands. Take a step back from the pulley machine until the arms are fully extended and parallel to the floor. Slightly bend the knees and position your feet at a distance that is slightly greater than the width of the shoulders.
Step 2: With a stationary torso, pull the elbows back such that the attachment is right in front of the face.
Step 3: Pause for a second and return to the starting position.
Important tip: Contract the shoulder blades at the end of the pulling motion to target the rear deltoids with increased precision.
