You additionally need to make it possible for your elbows are pointing down and never greater than the extent of your shoulders in an effort to hold your joints in a wholesome place.
Subsequent you need to carry out the overhead lure increase. Right here you additionally need to try to rotate your thumbs out as you increase your arms overhead to clear extra room within the shoulder joint and assist you to get most elevation over your head. The decrease traps are the muscular tissues that fireplace to maintain your shoulder blades in the suitable place and assist strengthen your shoulder girdle and posture.
Do three units of this superset mixture on the finish of each single workout you do. I don’t care if you’re coaching chest, legs, push, and even pull. No matter your cut up is, it’s essential begin accumulating the amount on this posterior chain if you wish to begin overcoming the posture, imbalance and tendency to extend the chance of shoulder damage.

Thx jeff
I was already pulling something 5 days a week before I started training so I’m good
What level of resistance should you use for these two exercises? In working out at home so I would need resistance bands but I'm not sure what resistance level I need
But should you need to rest the muscle for 48 hours like other muscle groups.
Bro that looks so hard lol
Strenthens: Rotator Cuff, lower and middle Traps, Scapula, (Not sure about rear delts)
Fixes: Posture, Muscle Imbalances, Helps to prevent Injuries
Jeff you are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been experiencing so much pain in my shoulders and neck and back and this helps so much holy shit. You a genius
Just got myself a band! Thanks Jeff
Jeff, How many sets and reps do I do a day?
-What's the ideal weight to work with (% of 1RepMax) for this goal?
-Does strengthening or hypertrophy fix the imbalance?
Thanks!!!
I bought bands so FINALLY did face pulls so happy. Ive incorporated so many tips and habits from you over the years including drinking a litre of water when you wake up. You're awesome thanks!❤
Good one after a workout. I also do daily the Band Pull Apart x 30 reps & the 10 mins ABS early each morning. Love your videos and my body is showing how good the work outs are. I am 56 female and started 4 days ago the 22 Days for Better Glutes Program…I will add more programs for upper body as well. Love the feeling of getting stronger and also your NON-NEGOTIABLE statement….. THANK YOU Jeff!!!!!
Face pulls saved my marriage thanks Jeff

They say working out helps you live longer, Jeff is gonna live for ever
Every time I see people doing them at the gym, I always wonder if they got the idea from Jeff.
I’m at the gym doing them rn
Since I mastered the face pull, my wife is no longer a spitter 🙂
The skeleton Jeff has in his gym is from the last guy that didn't do his face pulls.
Now he leaves him there to leave a message
Not being dramatic, I’ve had intercostal and chest pain for years, I’m 28. I’ve known for awhile a lot of this problem was coming from overdeveloped pec minors pulling me forward and compressing my ribs. Just a few workouts of the lower trap raises and the pain is finally easing. It’s crazy how much opposing muscle groups can really create pain
What does the face pull with a band look like (set up of the band)?
Great info as always! How much weight are you face-pulling there Jeff? Also – I'm looking at a functional trainer and wondering if a 200LB stack is sufficient to build mass as I get stronger.
Reading the comments after the VIDEO is so much fun!! lolll
Thanks for the info!
Facepulls healed My hemorrhoids.
Hail Jeff 🙏
The same exercise on consecutive days, essentially 5-6 times a week? There is no rest time for recovery of the trained muscle groups of the upper back, rear delts, traps. What is the rationale that allows these particular muscle groups to be trained without rest days? Genuine question, not trying to be a smart a**.
Thanks
I replaced eating with facepulls and I feel better than ever
thank you
you are the best!
Legend says if you say "internal rotation" 3 times into a gym mirror, Jeff appears and makes you do 3 circuits of face pulls.
That fixed my shoulder pain overnight, wtf… I'm doing these every day!
A guy was doing chest flys on the cable machine in my gym. I asked him if I could do a set quickly. He said yes and I did Facepulls. After I was done he looked at me, smiled and said "That's from Athlean X right?" That was a pretty wholesome encounter.
GL
Why are you still watching? Do face pulls, NOW!
3 circuits!? after every single work out!??????
1:10 Facepull
2:08 Overhead
Jeff i love you, but if i would be doing just half of what you tell us to do after every workout, i'd be there until the next workout.
…or is that the trick? Just never leave the gym?
Just a note I did these exercises but blew out all my shoulder impingement progress. I'm back to square one in each shoulder. The one where he does them overhead just ruined me. Super bummed but Jeff's work has added so much value that everything cant be a winner. Go super light if you're going to try these with 1 or both shoulders impinged.
What I noticed is after doing these two exercises, that the deltoids are getting worked to the point of filling out my shirts a lot better at the shoulders. I did not know about these movements, but enthusiastically do them now because I can see the results.

can facepulls from interverted row position be a good replacement?
Jeff, or anyone who happenes to read this and actually has an informed opinion on this. I don't have access to a machine so I'm doing these with those resistance bands with a handle. My question is: Should the band be anchored above head level the same as the machine (because the resistance is different) or should I anchor it lower? (Head/neck/chest level) and 2) what about the handles? Should I try to "rotate the thumb" towards the back as well or is it enough to keep the palms facing forward? I mean, I CAN physically rotate the thumbs backwards, but I've seen some videos of people doing facepulls with bands and they all use the handles straight. Palms facing forward. Jeff should REALLY think about putting out a video of facepulls with resistance bands. The ones with handles. Since he loves the exercise so much I dont see why not… Guys, help me get Jeff or Jesse to see this message please. Not only do I REALLY NEED this exercise (my whole damn shoulder girdle and upper back is f'ed up) but I'm pretty sure a lot of viewers would benefit of this as well.
Do you mean the whole workout or every single part of the workout?
Jeff how a bout doing this when u have a tennis elbow… or developing pain from overtraining of te outside of my underarm..the brachioradiallus thanx
