How to: Ring Face Pull
- Set up suspension rings at chest height.
- Grasp the rings with a neutral grip, palms facing each other.
- Step back until your body is at an angle, with the rings near your chest.
- Pull the rings towards your face, keeping your elbows elevated and retracing your shoulders together.
- Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then return slowly to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Allowing the shoulders to creep up towards the ears.
- Pulling with the arms rather than engaging the upper back.
- Using excessive weight that compromises form.
Modifications
- Perform the exercise with lighter resistance or from a seated position if the standing version is too challenging.
- Use a band instead of suspension rings for added support.
Tips
- Keep your elbows high and your shoulders down throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to maintain stability.
- Control the movement and avoid using momentum.
