Exercise Description

Face Pull with External Rotation is specifically designed for the entire shoulder region, increasing its strength and providing stability.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Sit on a cable station and hold each side of the rope attachment with your palms facing each other. Sit comfortably and let the weight pull your shoulders forward slightly. Keep your arms straight (parallel to the floor) to feel the tension in the cable.
  • Step 2

    With your upper body still and your chest up, pull the rope towards your nose. As the rope approaches your nose, turn your elbows out, so your knuckles are facing the ceiling in the final position. Return the weight back by fully extending your arms to the starting position.
