>Redpill me on facepulls

If you want a big upper back and rear delts do them.

Superset every set of bench and OHP you do with a set of RPE 7 facepulls to enjoy optimal shoulder health and rear delt growth

A must have in any routine

Just started doing them and they feel great

This, except for the supersetting, they're comfiest to do at the end of the workout.

ive seen a lot of different opinions one what actually constitutes a face pull.

is a face pull:
>hold thumbs, palms down
>as you pull, keep hands down, elbows high, compress shoulder blades together
>your knuckles remain pointed forwards

or
>thumbs towards you
>palms inwards, like in picture
>as you pull, hands rise over elbows and frame your face
>knuckles point outwards/upwards

I've done both, I think the first version is better for traps and upper back, but second version (like pictured in OP) is better for rear delts. I imagine heavy ones could put stress on elbows though.

I would also like to know

>>41288726
3x20 somewhere in every workout, every time you work upper body. goat exercise

>>41288726
I love them, fixes my posture, easy to progress, great for shoulder health

Pic is pretty much right, you're doing it for rear delts after all.

>>41289368
x20 is too annoying to progress, 10-15 is where it's at.

>can never do upright rows due to wierd shoulder uncomfortableness/pain
>do face pulls for like 2 weeks
>can suddenly do upright rows with no soulder pain at all
I think there indeed might be some meme magic to them

You probably had a pussy ass back and couldn't handle 45lbs bar

>>41289290
You should end looking like you're hitting a double biceps pose like the OP pic

First responder right here man, get this dude an ambulance to respond to calls.

They really are about the only way to hit up your rear delts and should be done consistently by everyone.
