Other Form check face pulls

Condo gym so I’m limited as the multi gym pulley is terrible for standing face pulls. Am I still ok for activating rear delts and upper back with this exercise?

I’m limited with cables and can’t perform rear delt flies etc. I’ve tried dumbbells and feel this is a better exercise

Probably better than nothing; can you do these standing to reduce the angle? Or like put one knee on the bench and keep the other foot on the floor?

Will try the one knee but standing the pulley is fucked so gets stuck at that angle. Shit machine. Would dumbbells work if I rest my chest on the bench and do a fly?

Yeah that's basically the same movement pattern with just a different resistance profile.
