Lee Hayward: Hey, how is it going? It's Lee Hayward here from LeeHayward.com and I've got another informed of workout training video for you. This one talks about building up the entire upper back, you know your traps, your rear delts and all these muscle groups because this is a common question that I get asked a lot. In fact, on our last total fitness body building talk show, we've had people asking about it, I get asked about a lot about my body building form and I'm getting tons of emails about it. So, hey, I got to make out a workout video, showing one of my favorite exercises for building up the traps, the rear delts and the entire upper back.
One of my favorite exercises for building up these muscle groups is doing face pulls. How you set up for the face pull is you would attach your rope attachment to a pulley cable set up. Ideally, I would want to use a cable cross over station, one that allows you to adjust the position of the pulley because what you're going to notice here is that each set, I'm going to move the cable pulley to upper couple of notches and do my next set of face pulls and what this will do is it'll work the upper back from a different angle with each set. So, I mean like, I had the first one that I did it would be considered like an upright roll and now I'm kind of this is still like an upright row variation right here, but as I move the cable up each time, it becomes more of a face pull where I'm doing more of horizontal rowing, and then it'll actually have it up all the way where I'm pulling and the cable pulley is coming above head.
When you're setting up for face pulls, again you want to use the rope attachment. And the reason for is, is it allows a better range of motion and you can pull the rope back pass to sides of your face and actually pull that apart in addition to pulling it back. This will help to activate more muscles throughout the entire upper back. So, what I have set up right here on the video and this is I guess what you consider the true face pull because the pulley is set up at approximately a face height. Again, this one right here really pulls a lot of stress directly on the traps and the rear delts. The lower variations kind of put more emphasis on the traps, and then at the higher you go I find the more stress you'll get on your rear delts.
And, of course, I'm doing this for demonstration purposes just kind of like bang in through and really quick. But in your workouts, obviously, you would take your normal rest periods in between each set of the exercise.
