DECONSTRUCTED FACE PULL

This is a strengthening exercise for the posterior shoulder and upper back. Start by anchoring one end of a band to a solid object in front of you. Grab the other end with your hand and pull it towards your face. Pull it so that your elbow is at the level of your shoulders (abducted 90 degrees) and thumbs facing behind you. Your fists should be roughly at the level of your ears at the end range position. Hold this for up to 2 seconds and slowly allow the band to pull your arm back forwards to complete a repetition.
