Pulling exercises like face pulls can be beneficial for the muscles on the back of your body that help contribute to deadlifts, pull-ups, and normal function outside the gym.įace pulls are an isolation exercise, meaning they primarily target only one muscle group, but that doesn’t mean other muscles don’t help in stabilization or movement.

This exercise can be accessible depending on the equipment you choose and can be simple enough for beginners to help build a balanced and solid foundation. Unlike bicep or triceps muscles, you can’t necessarily isolate this part of the muscle, but you can do exercises that put a greater emphasis on it.įace pulls work the rear deltoid as it’s the primary muscle worked in this exercise, with the help from some of the muscles in your upper back. Out of the three heads of the deltoid, the posterior or rear deltoid is often the most neglected one. Moves like the overhead press, lateral raise, and front raise are all exercises that help target the heads of this muscle group. These shoulder muscles are made up of three heads: the anterior, lateral, and posterior. The deltoids are the biggest muscle in your shoulder, and they are responsible for moving the arm and stabilizing the rotator cuff.
