Cable Face Pull with External Rotation Video Exercise Guide

The cable face pull with external rotation is a variation of the cable face pull and a great shoulder exercise that can be used to target the rear deltoids. Not many exercises can effectively target the rear delts like cable face pull can.

The rear delt is often a lagging muscle group for many lifters and weak rear delts can result in poor posture, thus performing the cable face pull with external rotation (or other rear delt exercises) is highly recommended.

Add the cable face pull exercise in your body part split on either shoulder or back day, on your upper day during your upper/lower splits, or on your pull day for push/pull/leg splits.
