This exercise demo shows how to perform Seated Cable Face Pull with correct form
Attach a rope which is used for the triceps extension to a seated cable area. An alternative to this would be to attach it to any other cable pulley machine.
Ensure your back is straight and have your knees slightly bent.
Hold the rope tightly with your palms facing each other, ensure it’s in an overhand position.
Drive the arms back and pull the rope towards your forehead whilst making sure your arms are above shoulder level.
Rotate your shoulders externally at the end of the movement.
Squeeze the upper back muscles once fully extended, hold the position for 1-2 seconds and return the rope back to neutral always making sure there is tension in the ropes.
We suggest to start the weight light in order to get the technique right for 10 – 12 repetitions.
