Strength exercise
Hammer Strength Row
How to do it
- Sit at the machine and adjust the seat height so the handles line up with your chest.
- Grip a handle in each hand and press your chest firmly against the support pad.
- Pull the handles back toward your torso, driving your elbows behind your body along the machine's fixed path.
- Squeeze the latissimus dorsi and biceps fully at the back of the movement while your chest stays against the pad.
- Exhale as you pull, hold briefly, then extend your arms forward under control to a full stretch.
- Keep your shoulders down away from your ears throughout the set; avoid shrugging as the handles come back.
