Seated face pulls are the only way to do face pulls because otherwise people ego lift when they do this exercise. They put too much weight on the stack and they lean back rather than working their rear delts.

If you do a bicep curl and you can’t feel your biceps, there’s a problem. But people do face pulls all the time and can’t feel their rear delts and then act like they just accomplished something.

Enter the seated face pull, where you can’t egregiously lean back and you have to actually focus on using your rear delts. When I’m doing this I really focus on pulling my elbows apart and staying braced in my abdominals.

Client spotlight: Charlie Rusch @charlayyyroosch is a coaching client on @getverb who lost 45lbs in 7 months working with me. Here’s what he had to say about the experience:

“Jacob has helped transform all aspects of my life. He helped install a game plan with a set goal in mind, and made it really easy to understand that sticking to the script will lead to results.

At the beginning, tracking meals, hitting protein goals and even staying in a calorie deficit was a challenge, but once I was acclimated it became second nature. I was able to make substitutions in my diet while still being able to eat the majority of foods that I enjoy. Finding lower calorie and higher protein food sources has become a fun part of my grocery hauls while also focusing on including high fiber sources. In terms of the workouts, he’s laid out specific plans tailored to my goals and helped me really dial in and get stronger over several months.

My conversations with Jacob have always been great and he’s always willing to point you in the right direction while encouraging you to push yourself harder. Thanks to the help from Jacob I’ve lost 45lbs, I have a lot more energy and focus, and I’ve been able to really change my habits and push myself to get better every day. The main thing that I’ve learned is that consistency is what ultimately leads to the result. I’ve cut back my alcohol intake and for the most part don’t let weekends take me off track.”

Here are a couple examples of mechanical dropsets. You can apply this conceptually to your training in order to intensify it or extend a set.

1️⃣ TRX row: You can start in a lowered position, once it gets challenging walk yourself up slightly and continue to progress the set

2️⃣ Pushups: Start with a traditional pushup. When you get tired, put your hands on an elevated surface so your shoulders are higher than your hips and you can extend this set doing this mechanically easier version.

Client spotlight: Antonio @antonio_did_ is a coaching client on @getverb who uses my app for his workouts. I’ve only had the pleasure of meeting him once in real life, during which time I took him through a brutal leg day session. Antonio has had a lot of success getting stronger and putting on muscle. I’m really excited about what the next 6 months are going to look like for him, including having to buy bigger jeans.

My app is going live in June to the general population. It has a video library of over 600 exercises that tells you exactly what to do and how to do it. All of the exercises are demonstrated by me with a voiceover detailing technique and what you need to focus on while training.
