Looks like a good chest, shoulder, tricep day. Had to look up "Face pulls" even though I did them in my last shoulder workout. Listed them in my journal as "Rear Delt High Rope Pulls" not knowing the name, lol. I had the pulley set on highest point but I see some set it to even from your head. Not sure what you went with. Seems some do it for rear delt and some do it for back. Just a matter of where you're concentrating on contracting would be my guess. I have used the reverse flye for either as well.

[Curt James]

Had mine set at the highest point, too. Trying to contract or work all those tiny rotator fibers.

Always like dips. They say it's like squatting for the upper body!

^^^ I'd almost like to peel four inches off my height and add them to my clavicles. That would give me at least a bit of width and still have me at 5'9".

I've heard that often. There was a guy on our cross country team in high school who could strap 200 lbs on and do dips.

Personally always did bodyweight as I figured all the other exercises were 8-10 reps so why not have one where it's 15-20. I'm probably already doing 200lbs anyway, lol.
