4 Facepull Mistakes You Need to FIX!

4 Face Pull Mistakes (And How to Fix Them!)

🔴 Mistake #1: Overhand Grip
An overhand grip isn’t necessarily wrong, but an underhand grip is more optimal for isolating the rear delts.

🔴 Mistake #2: Elbows Too Low
If your elbows are below your shoulders, you're missing out on optimal rear delt engagement. Instead, pull with your elbows above shoulder level, around ear height.

🔴 Mistake #3: Pulling Too Low
Pulling toward your chest/neck places more emphasis on the traps and less on the rear delts. Instead, aim to pull toward your face, around eye level to maximize rear delt activation.

🔴 Mistake #4: Hands Too Close Together
Your hands may start close together, but as you pull, gradually spread them apart, finishing wider than your ears for full rear delt engagement.

✅ Fix these mistakes, and you'll get the most out of your face pulls!

Instructions unclear, im not turning red-green

I recommend doing these on one knee from the floor once you get to a certain weight btw. You’ll probably have an easier time stabilizing yourself in a kneeling position rather than standing!

This video led to heavy neck pain and days of training break for me. Don't put your elbows over your shoulders if you have problems with your posture!

Sit on a bench so that your chest is supported by the back of the bench, so when the machine pulls you for the negative, you get a deeper stretch.

Hey I’ve been lifting for three years now, occasionally switching between reverse flyes and face pulls. When I do face pulls, I do practically everything as shown in the video EXCEPT for the grip change. I’d never thought of it that way. I’m totally gonna try that out next pull day. Thanks for the tip ✌️

[Tacoking]

I thought the main goal of a face pull was to work the external rotators of the rotator cuff, not necessarily the posterior deltoid. I do think the form showed in this video is good for that purpose, but not optimal if the posterior deltoid is your actual goal (as implied by the green coloring).

Solid advice, but remember every "expert" thinks thier way is best so sometimes ya gotta try different ways youre body will tell you if you're hurting it or doing it right!

[keywestfan]

I’ve always believed the proper way to do a face pull is by grabbing the end of the rope/knob like you’re holding tennis balls in your hand. So your palms are facing away from you towards the machine, and the back of your hands are facing towards your face. And also keep your elbows above the level of your shoulders the way he is showing.
