Face-Pull with a Band

Website: http://www.prbreaker.com Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat @derekcharlebois Face-Pulls target the muscles of the upper back. People often focus on pressing movements (i.e. bench press) and neglect the muscles of the upper back, which can lead to postural issues (shoulders rounded forward and neck pulled forward). Adding Face-Pulls into your routine is a great way to strengthen your upper back. I personally prefer doing Face-Pulls with a band instead of a cable pulley machine. Using a band offers two distinct advantages: (1) As you pull the band towards your face the tension increases which limits momentum and forces you to contract the muscles of the upper back harder. (2) You can also pull the band apart as you pull the band towards your face which increases the recruitment of the rear delts. There is nothing wrong with doing Face-Pulls on a cable pulley, but if you have access to bands I highly recommend using them for this exercise. One great way to add Face-Pulls to your routine is to do them between sets of bench press or other pushing exercises. Doing so will not only strengthen your upper back but also help improve your bench press.
