TRX Face Pull

1. Set up the suspension trainer at a high anchor point. Adjust the handles to an appropriate height so that your arms will be fully extended in the starting position while facing the anchor point.

2. Grab the suspension trainer handles with each hand using a neutral grip (palms facing each other) and step back until the straps are taut. Lean back slightly, standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and maintaining a stable stance.

3. Begin the exercise by pulling the handles toward your face while keeping your elbows high and pulling them out to the sides. Your hands should come close to your face, with the thumbs pointing toward your ears or temples, emphasizing the contraction of the rear deltoids.

4. As you perform the face pull, focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together and keeping constant tension on the rear deltoids throughout the movement.

5. Slowly release the tension and return to the starting position, with your arms fully extended forward.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, typically aiming for 8-15 reps per set depending on your fitness level and the difficulty of the resistance provided by the suspension trainer.

Tips: - Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to provide stability and prevent arching your lower back. - Do not use momentum; perform the face pulls with controlled form to effectively target the upper back and shoulder muscles. - Adjust your body position closer or further from the anchor point to increase or decrease the resistance accordingly. - Focus on the mind-muscle connection and concentrate on the muscles being worked during the exercise.
