Exercise Description

The face pull on rings builds strong rear delts and improves posture. It fights the forward shoulder slouch from desk work and creates balanced shoulder strength.

How To

1. Set rings at chest height and grab them with an overhand grip, arms extended 2. Step back to create tension and lean slightly back with your body straight 3. Pull the rings toward your face, leading with your elbows high and wide 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top and pause for one second 5. Lower the rings back to start position with control, maintaining tension throughout the face pull on rings movement

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows higher than your wrists throughout the entire face pull on rings movement • Pull the rings apart slightly as you bring them to your face for better rear delt activation • Keep your core tight and body straight - don't let your hips sag or pike up • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Pulling with arms instead of leading with elbows during face pull on rings - this reduces rear delt work • Letting elbows drop below shoulder level which shifts focus away from target muscles • Using too much body swing or momentum instead of controlled movement during face pull on rings
