Face Pull Press
FACE PULL PRESS
The face pull press is a strengthening exercise to target the scapular retractors and shoulder external rotators. Loop a band around a stable object like a squat rack at shoulder height. Grab one end of the band with your hand and pull your hands back to your shoulders. Keep your elbows stacked directly below your wrists by keeping your forearms vertical to the floor. Raise your hands above your head without allowing your hands to shift forwards relative to your elbows.
