**3 Subtle Tweaks to *Finally* Hit Those Rear Delts During Face Pulls** 🔥

 

Struggling to feel your rear delts *actually working* during face pulls? You’re not alone. Most lifters unintentionally let their traps or upper back take over. *Here’s how to fix that*:  

**1️⃣ Rotate Your Grip (Thumbs Toward You)**  

A small wrist adjustment = big results. Turning your thumbs inward (like a “thumbs-up” grip) reduces strain on the wrists and aligns your shoulders for a smoother, more *targeted* pull. *Pro tip*: Imagine “opening a window” with your hands as you pull.  

**2️⃣ Keep Shoulder Blades *Slightly* Forward**  

Resist the urge to squeeze your shoulder blades together! Keeping them slightly protracted (forward) shifts focus *away* from traps and *directly* onto the rear delts. Think “long arms” as you pull the rope toward your face.  

**3️⃣ Finish with Vertical Forearms**  

At the peak of the movement, your forearms should form a straight vertical line. This tiny detail ensures tension stays on the rear delts (not your biceps or upper back). *Test it*: If your elbows flare outward, reset and focus on driving them back, not wide.  

**Why This Works** 👇  

These tweaks prioritize *alignment* over weight. Drop the ego, lighten the load, and let your rear delts do the work. Trust us – they’ll be screaming (in the best way) by rep 10.  

💡 *Save this for your next upper-body day* 💡
