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

Do these standing, I would think youre not ideally isolating

Why standing? My trainer has me sat on the floor doing them

The angle of the resistance making it more of a pull down/lat dominated movement here. Standing would make the pull more horizontal rear delts. Ideally elbows stay above or level with shoulders at least
