TRX Face Pull

The TRX Face Pull is a compound pulling exercise targeting the posterior deltoids and rhomboids, using a suspension trainer to improve upper back strength and posture.

How to do it

1. Grasp the TRX handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
2. Lean back until your arms are fully extended and your body forms a straight line.
3. Pull the handles towards your face, driving your elbows high and wide.
4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak contraction.
5. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position with control.

Tips

• Maintain a rigid torso throughout the movement; avoid arching your lower back.
• Focus on initiating the pull with your upper back muscles, not just your arms.
• Adjust your body angle to modify difficulty: a more horizontal position is harder.
