4 Face Pull Mistakes (And How to Fix Them!) 🔴 Mistake #1: Overhand Grip An overhand grip isn’t necessarily wrong, but an underhand grip is more optimal for isolating the rear delts. 🔴 Mistake #2: Elbows Too Low If your elbows are below your shoulders, you're missing out on optimal rear delt engagement. Instead, pull with your elbows above shoulder level, around ear height. 🔴 Mistake #3: Pulling Too Low Pulling toward your chest/neck places more emphasis on the traps and less on the rear delts
