How to Do Resistance Band Face Pull

Form Cues

1. 1

   Anchor band at face height, pull to forehead with elbows high

2. 2

   Externally rotate at the end position

3. 3

   Lead the pull with your elbows, keeping them above wrist height throughout

4. 4

   Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end range before returning slowly

Common Mistakes

• ●

  Pulling to the chest instead of the face — the high elbow position is critical for rear delt and rotator cuff activation

• ●

  Using too much band tension and losing the external rotation at the end — a lighter band with full technique beats a heavy one done partially

• ●

  Letting the shoulders shrug up toward the ears during the pull
