How to perform the Low Cable Face Pull
- 1Stand facing the cable machine with the pulley set low, attach a rope handle, grab each end with your palms facing in, then step back until the cable is tight and your arms are straight with a slight lean back and soft knees. Keep your chest up, shoulders relaxed away from your ears, and brace your abs.
- 2Pull the rope up toward your face, leading with your elbows and flaring them out so your hands end up near your temples while you squeeze your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly straighten your arms back to the start with control, breathing out as you pull and in as you return.
Coach tips
- Think about pulling with your rear shoulders and upper back, not your arms, so you feel it behind your shoulders instead of in your neck.
- Keep your ribs down and avoid leaning back or arching your lower back to move the weight.
- Use a weight you can control smoothly; if you have to jerk or swing, it’s too heavy.
