The Suspension Face Pull targets the upper back and shoulders, promoting better posture and shoulder stability.

  1. Attach the suspension trainer at upper chest height.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point, holding the handles with both hands.
  3. Lean back slightly, keeping your body straight and your feet planted.
  4. Pull the handles towards your face, keeping your elbows high and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

How to perform the Suspension Face Pul

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Suspension Face Pul using your body weight.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your forearms rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
