On average they occupy this fuckin thing for like 20 minutes...Only 2 pairs of ropes in my gym too. I think I'd piss a lot of people off if I keep them for Jeff-style face pulls lol. Not to mention that one of the ropes will at all times be in use anyway. I should seriously upgrade to a better gym but it's cheap sooo....

    Hi Jeff, I'm a female 62 and started working out again 9 months ago and have dropped 48 pounds and gained quite a bit of muscle. I love this face pull! I added it to my work out and felt like hamburger the next day but it upped my weight on my rowing after just 1 time (after I healed lol) and the weight on the face pulls too. It was really what I needed to finish off my shoulders. I really like the latest video on meal amounts of Protein, starchy carbs, and fibrous carbs. It fit right in with what I was doing anyways. Love all your videos, you and Jessie keep it coming plz. I'm feeling stronger and better all the time. Thanks Autumn.

    Jeff, I know you must get countless comments like this, but I still need to tell you that you have essentially saved me. This recommendation has been fixing so many things that had been wrong with me, including a shoulder issue that I have had that physical therapy has attributed to a weak lower back. I've only been incorporating this for two weeks and the results are insane, I feel amazing! I wish I could meet you and shake your hand. You do incredible work and give out priceless information for free, you are a saint of fitness. I intend to invest in some of your products and potentially a program when I have the at home equipment someday to give back to the unbelievable fitness world that you have built. I cannot believe that someone like you exists, giving away for free what many charge for by the session. From the bottom of my heart thank you for what you do, I believe I am one of so many that has been able to benefit from the amazing work that you do.

      I now reassess every single exercise and try to do my last two lightweight cooldown sets with external shoulder rotation.

    *Summary:*
    *Best equipment to use:* When doing face pulls, when you use one rope, it doesnt give enough external rotation. To fix this put on 2 ropes just like at 3:29
    *How high should the rope be:* put it high slightly above head, pull from high to low
    *Stance:* stand square, which is more athletic but you cant overload this stance because you are unbalanced. If you have bad balance, try the position at 5:45
    *Grip:* you dont want to use overhand grips because this causes internal rotation of the shoulder. Instead grab it underhand like 6:25 with thumbs backwards.
    *line of pull:* Pull directly to your nose. Also, the hands must beat the elbow at the end of the motion like at 7:45 so there isn't internal rotation.
    *If you have trouble getting hands behind elbows:* Do the face pull like at 8:35
    *Extra bonus muscle work:* Do face pull but raise arms up like at 9:08. This works the lower traps, to create stability of scapula.
    *Rep range:* Use enough weight for strength, but not enough to pull u forward
    *Frequency:* Do a couple sets of face pulls every workout, no matter what body part ur working

    Loving this in-depth explanation. I learn new things by watching your videos on a consistent basis and I've been training for 30 years. Adding the press (extension) at the end to the face pull is an excellent addition I never considered before and the idea of 10 sets of 1 is brilliant. Each rep counts! Thanks.

    This is hands down the best video to explain proper face pull. Its a great exercise for a strong back especially for horizontal pull. Pull ups and horizontal rows and face pulls are absolutely BEASTS for back development

    I'm so glad I found your channel! I exercise a lot (half marathons) and do home strength training. I have bad posture and have been trying to correct it my whole life (rounded shoulders, anterior pelvis tilt with it). Face pulls daily, I'm on it now I've found this channel. Excited to get going. Going to watch more, you have such great tips and exercises. Plus.. its nice to watch muscly guys working out... 💪
