Cable Row (Wide Grip)
How to do it
- Sit at a cable row station and grip a wide bar attachment with an overhand grip well outside shoulder width.
- Brace your core and set your torso upright with a slight forward lean before starting the pull.
- Pull the bar toward your upper abdomen, letting your elbows flare out to the sides rather than tucking in.
- Squeeze the latissimus dorsi, biceps, and forearm flexors as the bar reaches your torso.
- Exhale through the pull, hold briefly, then extend your arms forward under control to complete the stretch.
- Keep the wide grip fixed throughout the set; avoid letting the elbows drop and turn the movement into a narrow grip row.
