The Standing Cable Face Pull With External Rotation is a fantastic exercise to not only target the upper back muscles, but it also strengthens your rotator cuff muscles, which is key for healthier shoulders.
To get started:
- Attach a rope handle to a high pulley of a cable machine.
- Grip each end of the rope with a palms facing each other neutral grip, so the ends of the ropes point to the ceiling.
- Take a few steps back from the cable machine so you can extend your arms straight in front of you.
- Pull the rope towards your eyes by squeezing your shoulder blades together and bending and flaring your elbows out to the side.
- At the end of the movement, your hands should be in alignment with your eyes.
- Under control, reverse the movement back to the starting position.
