Strength exercise

Face Pull (Light)

How to do it

  1. Anchor a length of resistance at chest height, whether a band or a light cable attachment, and take a small step back to set tension.
  2. Hold one end in each hand with arms extended forward and palms facing each other.
  3. Brace your core and stand tall with a slight backward lean to keep tension steady.
  4. Pull both hands toward your face with light effort, separating them apart and drawing the elbows back to work the posterior deltoids.
  5. Exhale through the pull and inhale as you return smoothly to the starting extension.
  6. Avoid overloading the movement with heavy resistance; keep the weight light so the shoulders, not momentum, drive each rep.
