💪Face-Pull Technique
.
❗️I was at the gym this week and saw one of my top 10 incorrectly done exercises ( that I see 👀). @fitnessiq put up the correct form a month ago, check it out:
.
✏️Note this movement should target the Rear Deltoids. But a lot of the time we see people shrug their traps, and use their biceps for the movement.
.
❌Avoid elevating the scapula and driving the elbows straight back
.
✅If your goal is to truly hit the rear deltoids:
🔹Keep the scapula depressed/protracted
🔹Core Engaged
🔹Drive back and OUT with your elbow towards your face
.
Maintain tension through the entire movement. And try to keep neutral head position throughout. Keeping these points in mind will prevent neck pain and shoulder impingement 👌
