Cross cable face pull is a cable movement that targets and builds your upper back and traps. It also strengthens the shoulders overall, along with the rotator cuff muscles, including the infraspinatus. This exercise is also used as a corrective drill to help offset poor posture and shoulder dysfunction, while supporting better posture.
