Do you retract before or during the pull?

Bro , u r right , it's a important excercise for posture and rotator cuff but u r still doing it wrong .
U must make sure ur elbows are below ur shoulder level , go rewatch Jeff's video

Hey bro! Setting it up higher than your head level should help a lot. You can get all the explanation in AthleanX channel.

This just looks and feels right. I was doing this technique wise all wrong. I was using Scott Herman's old face pull video from like 7yrs ago as my guide, but it never felt right. Thx, Omar.

Ok, dumbest question ever cause I do realise the video is from the stone ages, but can anyone tell me if there is a way to take the upper(!) traps out of the equation as much as possible with this pull? 😳

You are not supposed to retract your shoulders and put them back and down in face pulls. This extremly decreases the activation of rear delts.

What if I am doing the mistake 2:44, but am using a band and the band is tied above my head? Is it ok?

Good video. I wish you would comment on the angle you are oullimg from, snd possible pro/cons from ajusting up/ pulling angle. From what i can tell the angle you pull from is slightly below head lvl.

This is where I learned face pulls all those years ago. Today this man is a History Channel host.

Side note – fun to see the elliot hulse influence. The way Omar demonstrates external rotation is right from the yo elliot vids.

Things were different
