Incline Bench Face Pull

Exercise:
Incline Bench Face Pull
Target Muscle:
Back (Mid)
Equipment:
Incline Bench, Dumbbells
Execution:
Setup an incline bench at a slight angle of about 20-30 degrees and lay across the bench face down with your head hanging over the top and feet straight out behind you.

Extend a pair of dumbbells out in front of you toward the floor with your palms facing in and angled slightly outward.

Raise the weights up in a circular path until the dumbbells are in line with the sides of your head. Pause momentarily in the fully contracted position and focus on squeezing your rear delts and upper back before returning to the starting position.
Tips:
- Keep the weights light on this exercise and emphasis control rather than explosiveness. This will increase the tension on the targeted muscles and reduce shoulder stress as well.

- Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together as you reach the fully contracted position of the exercise.
