The half kneeling banded face pull is a variation of the face pull and an exercise used to target the muscles of the shoulders. In particular, the half kneeling banded face pull targets the rear deltoids.
The half kneeling banded face pull utilizes bands to provide accommodating resistance where the amount of resistance amplifies the closer you get to a complete contraction. Also, by utilizing a half kneeling stance, you eliminate some of the need for the core to stabilize the body during the exercise.
