I’ve repeated it before, and I’ll repeat it again.
You need to do Face pulls.
It doesn’t matter if you’re…
- Trying to only lose some belly fit and be “fit.”
- Or an athlete who lifts for overall strength and conditioning.
- Trying to get jacked solely to attract girls.
- Or an elite powerlifter fighting internal demons.
You need to do Face pulls.
Nothing Will bulletproof your shoulders against injuries and give that 3 d look more than face pulls.
Facepulls also prevent and fix posture imbalances — not to mention strengthening your entire scapular complex.
Look up The correct form, master it, and pump away.
5 different ways to utilize integrated face pulls into your routine:
- As a push-day warmup: 2-3 sets of 15-20 light & fast reps should suffice.
- As your main rear-delt builder: 3-5 sets of 12-20 reps would be great. Use “Perfect” reps — explode through the positive, control the negative, and pause at peak contraction.
- As a posture enhancer. Forget reps and weight. Emphasize the stretch at peak contraction.
- As a killer delt finisher: To accumulate metabolic stress and time under tension (TUT), perform 1 set of 25 to 40 reps till failure.
- When in a hurry to train delts: One set of the over-head press (OHP) to failure — then 4 to 6 face pull sets of mixed rep ranges close to failure.
You don’t even need to go to a gym to do face pulls — resistance bands and chest expanders work beautifully.
You can even do bodyweight face pulls with gymnastic rings or TRX rings as well.
No excuses.
