Wide Grip Cable Row
How to do it
- Sit at the cable row station and attach a wide bar handle to the low pulley.
- Place the feet on the footplate with knees softly bent, grip the bar with hands well outside shoulder width, and sit up tall.
- Pull the bar toward the upper chest by flaring the elbows out to the sides, shifting the pull onto the upper back and lats while the biceps assist.
- Keep the torso upright throughout, resisting the urge to lean back to move the bar.
- Pause with the shoulder blades pulled together and elbows high before releasing forward.
- Extend the arms back to the start under control, exhaling on the pull and inhaling on the return.
