Dumbbell Bent-Over Face Pull

How to do it

Set your feet shoulder-width apart for a stable base.

1. 1

   Hold a dumbbell in each hand and hinge at the hips to bring your torso nearly parallel to the floor.

2. 2

   Start with your arms hanging straight down and palms facing each other.

3. 3

   Bend your elbows and pull the dumbbells towards your face, flaring your elbows out to the sides.

4. 4

   Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.

5. 5

   Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.

6. 6

   Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
