Face Pull
Trains rear delts first, with real work landing on biceps, upper back, traps and more.
Muscle contribution per set
These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.
Tempo
Rear delt and external rotator emphasis with pauses; tempo reinforces scapular health and posture.
Lead with elbows; external rotation at face level.

How Heatwayve progresses it
Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.
Swap it for
- Resistance Band Face PullBand
- Rear Delt FlyDumbbell
- Y-T-W RaiseBodyweight
Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.
Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
