What weight do you guys do face pulls? I have no sense of what's considered weak or strong on this lift.

    do them from knee level to the face, you'll use like 25% of your regular working weight

      I have never tried this but I’ll give it a shot and compare how I feel the day after.

      Knee level rounds your shoulders and restricts how far back you can go. Just do them properly at face level. I see morons compensating for too much weight every time I go to the gym. A guy yesterday had 35kg on and was barely moving his arms, swinging his whole body back and pushing with his legs. The main reason I want a home gym is so I don't have to see these morons every time I work out.

    it's an accessory lift you do in 10-20 rep ranges, weight doesn't matter you just progress it like everything else without letting the form become too bullshit

    This is a dumb thread because no one here knows about pulley ratios. To answer your question, lower than 99% of the people at my gum but for 25 reps x 4 sets, done with proper form (external rotation lead with elbows not hands) cooks the rear delts. None of this leaning back with overhand grip bullshit

      >pulley ratios
      Are the machines not set up so it's 1:1? I.e. the force of exertion equals the weight + some friction?

      Free weight master race so idk

        Nope. You have to count how many pulleys it goes through and even then they all feel different even when the ratios are equated. I do free weights too but cables are based as well. If you go to certain gyms they will have like 4:1 to make normies feel good and then on top of that people will lean back and 1/4 ROM with overhand grip so its like all momentum and maybe a bit of biceps. This is not an exercise where you need to progressively overload with more weight every time. Rear delts can be hard to hit if you don’t know how and are a small often underdeveloped muscle

    I use 35kg for around 15 reps. But i think most people try to do these standing up which is moronic

    I’m at 65 pounds for 12 reps right now but I’m currently rebuilding my strength. I used to do 75x12. I do them slow with what feels like good form I can really feel them in my rear delts the next couple of days.
