"The exercise we are about to cover now is called face pulls or high face pulls. What we're going to use on this one, you're going to need some kind of band or pulley system where you can get the resistance face high or higher. Today, I have this pull-up bar and I have these bands, I have it looped around here. I'm going to show you how to do that right now. We're going to take the rubber band, loop it around, pull it through, and then make sure that this is tightened up all the way against there. This is very much like when you use to tie rubber bands together when you were a kid. Now we've got two forms of resistance. I'm going to have my back to you for a second, that's just how this exercise is done. We're going to grab the bands, make sure our arms are straight. The closer you are to the bands, the pull up bar, the less resistance you get. The further away you stand or the more you lean the more resistance you get. Then we're going to pull to our face. This is why they're called face pulls. We're pulling in, really trying to pull the shoulder blades together and back. This is a great exercise if you have tightness between the shoulder blades from hunching like this. This helps strengthen those muscles so you pull your shoulders back so you have better posture. Pull back, let them out. Pull back, let them out. If you had a pulley system you might just have handles so you'd be grabbing them like this and you'd be pulling like this. I have the bands I can wrap them around my wrist and just use them as a little extra purchase on the band. Those are high face pulls. Again, you can do them at face level. I'm using these rubber bands, you can use a cable or pulley system. What these are great for, these are these fall into the horizontal pull category. These are great for strengthening your rhomboids, the muscles that are between your shoulder blades so that you can have better posture, less middle back pain, and just have a nicer day. It's a great thing to work into your work-out."
