COACHING CUES

COMMON MISTAKES

• Elbows dropping — keep them at shoulder height or above.

• Using too much weight — this is a shoulder health movement.

• Not separating the hands at the end of the pull.

SCALING / SUBSTITUTIONS

• Reduce the weight.

• Resistance band face pull as an alternative.

• Band pull-apart as a regression.
