The face pull is a cable exercise that targets the posterior deltoids, trapezius, rhomboids, and rotator cuff muscles (infraspinatus and teres minor). Research shows that strengthening the external rotators may help mitigate characteristics associated with subacromial impingement syndrome. Face pulls and rear delt work are essential for shoulder balance, injury prevention and posture correction — especially for lifters who do a lot of pressing.

The barbell bench press allows heavier loads (106.4 kg vs 89.5 kg 1RM) and greater prime-mover activation, while dumbbells offer superior shoulder comfort, greater range of motion and better muscle symmetry.
