It's a trap exercise and it really works great. But, I am trying to find a video link to explain and demo it.

Its less of a trap exercise and more of a post. delt, rhom., and RC exercise.Originally Posted by knightoday"Swim 2.4 miles. Bike 112 miles. Run 26.2 miles. BRAG for the rest of your life." IRONMAN TRIATHLON

I prefer to use a tricep Rope or strap for more ROM, but the slideshow is correct.

haha face pulls
you can't really do any serious weight standing like that. It will pull you foward.Last edited by ExtremistPullup; 08-20-2006 at 12:03 PM.

you don't need to use "serious" weight on face pulls.Originally Posted by ExtremistPullup
and if it is pulling you forward, put one foot back for stability.

facepulls are best in the 12-15 rep range, so huge weight is not neccessary.

I had the very same problem when I did them. There are cable machines that you can adjust the pully. I did them with the pully at eye level and it worked great without pulling you forward. When you do it at eye level it hits your traps. Try it without any weights and you'll feel your traps contract. When you do the video version and the pully is much higher, it hits your shoulders more and it does pull you forward.Originally Posted by ExtremistPullupAn often heard quote amongst British Surgeons in the 1800s: "The operation was a complete success...but the patient died."

I do facepulls all the time. It's really a rear delt exercise. I rarely work my traps, but love working rear delts.

You can do them on a seated row station too. No pull forward there...

I stand with one leg way out back and one in front and lean way back then pull. I haven't had problems and I use about 120 for them. Row station ones do work the same though, but the leverage of heavy weight pulled to the face can cause lower back soreness. I prefer them standing because I can keep my back neutral.
You don't need a lot of weight because you shouldn't be relying on your lats to move it. Focus on the rear delts.oh and gecko that link did not contain answers only the search page - swiftness_02

It all depends on where the pulley is located. But, that shouldn't be your only trap exercise.Originally Posted by gecko2424An often heard quote amongst British Surgeons in the 1800s: "The operation was a complete success...but the patient died."

i prefer to do face pulls from a pulley that is relatively high. if i use one that is eye level or below, the movement is more like an upright row.Originally Posted by Choktu
my tips to make this an effective rear delt movement:
-use the highest pulley available so you can pull in a downward angle
-use a rope attachment for a better ROM
-pull the rope apart as you pull back to keep your rear delts engaged
-lean back slightly with one foot back if you can't stabilize your upper body
-higher reps work best for me (12-15+)

Would this be a good replacement for Middle Back Shrugs, or are they for different things?Originally Posted by SDFlipStyle
