This will de-emphasise the rear delts and your strength and muscle gains will not be as good. If you go too heavy then your body may overcompensate and utilise the last to a greater degree. The rear delts benefit massively from Face Pulls but these muscles are not large. This makes them a great opportunity to work on your tendons, ligaments and taking time to strengthen your shoulders (and general shoulder health and movement) without simply pounding them with heavy weights (other exercises such as the Strict Press are better for this). This exercise works many smaller muscles and recruit the entire range of muscle groups involved in the rotator cuff. One trick is to imagine that you are holding a golf ball between them and you mustn’t let it drop to the floor. You want to try and “pinch” them together. Make sure that you keep your shoulder blades tight and tensed throughout the full range of motion. Exhale during the last part of this motion Slowly move back to the starting position.When your elbows reach a 90-degree angle, pause and squeeze your back again.Make sure your elbows move backwards and out to sides of your body, not downwards Activate your shoulders and upper back and pull the cable towards you.Inhale and brace your core, glutes and grip.Take the tension of the weight and walk back a couple of steps.Reach forwards and grab the rope with two hands, one at either end Standing with your body facing the cable machine.Select your weight using the pin in the weight stack Adjust the pulley of the cable machine to the highest (or lowest) setting.Use the following instructions to ensure that you perform Face Pulls form correctly. Use a light weight or an easier resistance and the movement will serve as an effective way to get your muscles activated and your body ready for the Bench Press, Bent Over Row, Deadlift, Strict Press or Upright Row. Grab a band or the cable machine and try warming up with the exercise. The exercise can work well to address and solve these imbalances. Many athletes concentrate far more on the chest than the back which leads to muscular imbalances and bad posture. Build a strong body for life ©Jonathon Borba
