Cable Face Pull · Rope Face Pull

CableBand CableFunctional

Pulling a rope from a high cable toward the face while flaring the hands apart and externally rotating, the face pull targets the rear delts, mid-traps, and rotator cuff. It is a key postural and shoulder-health exercise that balances heavy pressing volume. Use light weight with strict form, lead with the elbows high, and finish by rotating the knuckles back as the rope reaches the forehead.
