Face Pulls

[spatts]

In case anyone wants to add these to his/her training. Done on a lat pull down with rope. Great for rear delts, upper back, traps. You can modify these by pulling high, low, wide, etc...

Wow, I can't believe how long I just stared at those pictures, and have no idea what this thread is about, and don't actually care

I knew that would happen when I first saw Spat's post .

The lady has good timing.......I was in the middle of revamping by back workout so I figure I'll build these in.

Um, you were saying........... Sorry to stare but I can't take my eyes off you!

thank you spatterson...I was wondering what those face pulls were and now I know. Picture worth a 1000 baby!

MidwestJ, when are you going to come train with us?!?

I think that doing these can really help with all overhead pressing movements...shoot...all pressing movements as well as read delt development.

It is amazing how much these really isolate my rear delts...a muscle which was really neglected in my bodybuilding days.

Presumably the point is to pull back as far as possible with elbows out wide??

 

[b fold the truth]

I mostly do these as a warm up before every workout. My lat pull down is a piece of junk, no seat and nothing to anchor my feet or legs with...so I do them standing. I do just like a lat pull down but I lean back slightly farther and pull them to different points of my face. Chin, nose, eyes, forehead, above my head...try variations.

I had no clue what this thread was going to be about before I clicked on it...lol...

You don't want to know what was running through my head.

Looks like a great exercise, though...seems as if I have done it before somewhere!
