How to perform Cable Standing Row with proper form
Starting Position
- Attach Handle: Connect a single handle to the low pulley of a cable machine.
- Stand: Face the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
- Grip: Hold the handle with one hand, palm facing in, and take a step back to create tension in the cable.
Execution
- Posture: Stand tall with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged.
- Starting Movement: Pull the handle towards your torso while bending your elbow.
- Elbow Position: Keep your elbow close to your body as you row the handle.
- Retract Scapula: Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement.
- Controlled Return: Slowly extend your arm back to the starting position, maintaining tension in your back muscles.
Tips
- Avoid leaning back; keep your torso upright.
- Focus on engaging your back, not just your arms.
- Use a slow, controlled motion to maximize muscle engagement.
