How to do cable high row

Coach's Tips

Use a cable machine for this exercise, pulling from a higher position.

Start Position

1. Position yourself in front of the cable machine with feet at hip-width distance, adjusting the cable pulley to align with your chest.

2. Grasp the handle firmly with both hands and step back until the cable is tight but not exerting forward pull.

Proper Form

1. Maintain a straight back and engage your core as you draw the cable handle towards your chest.

2. Contract your shoulder blades while pulling the handle upward.

3. Gradually extend the handle back to the starting point, repeating the motion.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you pull the handle toward your chest.

2. Exhale while returning the handle to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Avoid rounding your back when pulling the handle.

2. Ensure the cable does not pull you forward to prevent back strain.

3. Discontinue the exercise if experiencing any pain or discomfort.
