    How to: Band Face Pull

    1. Attach a band at upper chest level.
    2. Stand facing the band, grab with both hands.
    3. Step back to create tension in the band.
    4. Pull towards your face while keeping elbows high.
    5. Squeeze shoulder blades together and return to starting position.

    Common Mistakes

    • Using too much weight, which compromises form.
    • Not fully extending the arms at the beginning of the movement.
    • Allowing the elbows to drop too low or too high.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise seated on a bench if balance is an issue.
    • Use lighter bands for those who are new to the exercise.

    Tips

    • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
    • Ensure proper standing position to maintain balance and form.
    • Control the band's resistance for effective movements.
