Face Pull
Use light load to practice rear-shoulder and shoulder-blade control. This optional accessory does not treat shoulder pain.
Current example: Light Cable Face Pull。Practice rear-shoulder and shoulder-blade movement with a controlled load.
Scene controls: arrow keys rotate; + / − zoom. Camera controls also support every operation.
Loading 3D. A 2D illustration on the same timeline is available now.
Stand stably holding both rope ends with the pulley near face height and arms forward.
Lines show grip points or joint paths; dots mark the start and extension checkpoints, with the finish returning to the start. A dead-bug cycle illustrates both sides; actual repetitions are counted per side. The range is illustrative, not a required depth.
Original joint models and animations are teaching illustrations without motion capture or individual calibration. Playback starts paused. Reduced-motion use can inspect checkpoints and the timeline. Camera rotation spans 360°, and zoom only changes viewing distance.
Paused by default. Choose a checkpoint or play to observe a full repetition.
Observation and Equipment
Equipment: Cable machine and Rope handle
- Adjust cable height and stand stably, checking the weight before starting.
- Pull the rope toward the face, separating the hands within a comfortable shoulder range.
- Return smoothly without leaning the torso backward for momentum.
Joints: Shoulder joint and shoulder-blade region, Elbow joint, and Trunk-stability region
Safety and Scope
- Use light load and stay clear of the moving weight stack. This is not shoulder rehabilitation.
- Stop for shoulder pain or instability and seek guidance.
Movement-learning information for healthy adults without known exercise contraindications. Sources are reviewed; this does not replace on-site technique assessment.
Reduce Difficulty
- Use a reduced-load face pull without forcing shoulder range.
Adjustment Boundaries
- Retain pull-and-return control before plan adjustments. Stop and seek guidance for shoulder pain or instability.
