How do you do facepulls with a band? Do you just loop it around something?
For that matter how do you do all the exercises in your mini workout? I’d be interested to implement some.

Both for my facepulls and my leg curls I loop it around the door like this.The tension is not enough to screw my door,so no issues there.For the facepulls I’m either on my knees or sitting on a chair cause I prefer pulling the band either parallel to the floor or from high to low

The band press I do like this.I really prefer pushups but they cause me pain high on my sternum,so I started these instead.Cross the bands to not get out of possition like in the pic

Thanks mate I liked the demonstrations haha, I’ll definitely add those face pulls in. I’d never thought of doing it like that.

Glad I helped man

Band pull aparts are another solution but I prefer facepulls cause they have external rotation,which strengthens the rotators

Oh straps. Meh. Bet you can strap on more. I held 270 once during non-gym training period and I weigh in under 9.44 stones.

2 Likes

Even if I could hold it it would probably slip of my hands after 1-2 reps.With all the force it comes down it’s way more than 200 kg

I could probably go heavier,but after all the work my lower back is fried.No way I can match the 270 kg at 9.4 stones though

Don’t get me wrong. I picked up 270 yes but shrugging is another thing…
