Leverage Row Machine

How to do it

  1. Sit or stand at the leverage row machine and grip the handles where they meet your torso at chest height.
  2. Set your chest against the pad if provided, or brace your core if standing, to stabilize your torso.
  3. Pull the lever arm handles back toward your ribs, driving your elbows behind your body along the machine's arc.
  4. Squeeze the latissimus dorsi and biceps fully at the back of the pull before the pivot reaches its stop.
  5. Exhale as you pull, hold briefly, then extend your arms forward under control to reset the lever arm.
  6. Keep your torso still against the pad or brace throughout; avoid using body english to swing the lever arm.
