Are face pulls the most overlooked exercise ever?

I do a full day of ring work and I never even considered trying that. Holy fuck thank you, anon.

Please elaborate on ring work?
Olympic rings?

I'm paranoid about this because of how much i pure bench+curl'd my first year in the gym so i just prioritize rows over bench as my 'big three' lift.

Also to add to the thread title

>paused deadlift

Pause when the bar is just below your knees - keep your core strong and under presssure, really activate your lats to kinda pull the bar against your legs.

Pause should be about 3 seconds.

Do it on the way up and the way down

Even if you're not looking to build PR numbers, i think it should be a staple exercise for most.

The additional time under tension really works the core (incl lower back) strengthens the muscles that keep your core strong (and so allow the transfer of strength from the lower body through the shoulders and arms and allow you to maintain a stable core whilst under load)
The act of stopping the bar on the negative is also an exercise in it's own right - as is restarting the bar on the positive.
By pausing, you introduce a level of "control" in your pull that i find is extremly important when going for high weights in non-paused deadlifts (incl sumo)

By pausing you also effectivly 'check' your form part way through the lift; if it's not good enough, you won't be able to hold the paused postion well, or will have to change your stance during the pause. In this way the paused deadlift forces you to improve form, and largely points you mundanely towards better form than most will get from any video/text

tl;dr

Pause on pos + neg
3 secs
Great for hypertrophy, strength, injury prevention, good form

i'd add ab roller stuff too, sure it gets mentioned here a lot but i see maybe one guy every month or so actually use one (other than me)

oh fuck yes my dude

I'll do them on occasion if I've had a really good session and still have some energy left. It's been really good for getting a "feel" of my whole body in motion, under tension.
I feel like they've helped, to a certain degree, with my power cleans too. being able to maintain position better in the first pull to better set up for the jumping position and the second pull
