Face pulls with the Theraband
As an alternative, you have the option to perform Face Pulls with the Theraband. This provides you with the flexibility to train your rear shoulders independently of location. Here, you will find additional information regarding the appropriate body posture and the correct execution of the movement.
Body position
Start by searching for a suitable anchor point for the Theraband in your surroundings, approximately at chest height. Then, position yourself in front of the Theraband or take a seat. It is crucial that the Theraband is neither below your chest nor above your head. Maintain an upright posture and protect your back with a slight arch. Grip the Theraband in a neutral position, and you are ready for Face Pulls with the Theraband.
Movement execution
Initiate the movement by pulling the Theraband towards your face. Ensure that your elbows initiate the motion and remain elevated during this phase. Exhale during this part of the movement. Hold the Theraband briefly directly in front of your face. During inhalation, bring the Theraband back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Throughout the entire movement, ensure that there is tension on the band.
