Face pull is an intermediate level exercise and is ideal for strengthening the deltoid muscles in the shoulder area. In addition, this exercise works with precision on the rotator cuff and thereby, strengthens and conditions the muscles group.

Instructions

Step 1: Stand straight in front of a high pulley that has a handlebar attachment. Attach an appropriate weight and pull the weight towards your face. Ensure that the arms are always parallel to the floor.
