The face pull with external rotation is a go-to exercise for building strong rear delts, scapular retractors, and external rotators, but one small mistake can hinder your progress.
❌ Common mistake:
Excessive elbow flexion shifts the effort to your biceps, reducing activation of the muscles the exercise is designed to target.
🔥 What to do instead:
Maintain a slight bend in your elbows and focus on initiating the movement from your shoulder blades and rear delts, not your arms.
