As have I, in the hopes that the face pull (either band or cable, knowing that neither implement has much "pull" in these parts, so to speak) would get a brief mention, either pro or con.
If, as the blog post indicates, the goal of a corrective pull is to counteract the hollow position and practice shoulder blade pinching to encourage linkage, this powerlifter fave strikes me as being a movement that potentially belongs in the discussion. It's definitely a shoulder-blade pincher when performed properly, particularly with an elastic band.
However, the highlighted horizontal pulls in "A Word on Rows" and elsewhere in Pavel's work all seem to focus the action at or below the armpits: batwing, machine, tug-of-war. Just wondering where high horizontal row fits in the spectrum. Perhaps the overt rotational component detracts from its effectiveness? Or is it just the implements that cut it out of the conversation?
Many thanks.
