You were probably expecting a different exercise to be first. The face pull is first because of its importance in maintaining healthy shoulders and good posture.
The vast majority of people have very weak rhomboids, posterior shoulders, and middle trapezius relative to the other muscles in the upper body. This is something that you need to address as early as possible to decrease injury risk in the future.
Instead of bouncing the bar off your chest (or doing a ‘touch and go’ method), pause the bar on your chest motionless for at least 1 second before pressing the weight back up.
There are very few exercises that are more difficult than the good ole overhead press. This exercise requires several things: good overhead mobility, strong shoulders, and a willingness to not give up.
