Can I do facepulls with a rope?

[gonelifting]

A premade tricep rope with the ends knotted, or is that too narrow? I`m thinking it would be easier on my hurting wrists. I would spread the rope out as I pull, or should I go with the straight bar? How wide should my grip be?

That's how we do them, so I don't see why not. They work for us.

i think doing them with a rope is the best way. more ROM.

I've only ever done them with the rope attachment.

sounds good. I was just worried about the width of grip I guess. That`ll be great for my aching wrists. thanks all

how long is your rope when outstretched? The one I use isn't short. While holding onto it, I can get a good squeeze in my back at the end of the move.

A little less than 2 feet from end to end, I guess. I never really stretched it out. lol I only do tricep pushdowns with it. It`s the store bought ones. Maybe they`re a specific length, I don`t know.

The one bought at my gym sounds about that length. In regards to one of your questions: I read somewhere to pull the rope apart as you pulled it toward you. That's how I do mine. I find it easier on my elbows that way.

The rope is all I use for face pulls.
