How to do wide grip seated cable row

Coach's Tips

This exercise is excellent for targeting the inner back muscles. Ensure your shoulders are pulled back and focus on using your back muscles, rather than relying on your arms!

Start Position

1. Sit at a cable row machine, securing your legs under the thigh pads firmly.

2. Position your feet on the foot plate and hold the wide grip handle with an overhand grip.

3. Maintain a straight back and keep your shoulders drawn back.

Proper Form

1. Initiate the movement by pulling your elbows back and bringing your shoulder blades together.

2. Keep your torso stable and gradually pull the handle toward your body.

3. Hold for a moment and then slowly bring the handle back to its initial position.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you pull your elbows back and bring your shoulder blades together.

2. Exhale as you return to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Avoid rounding your back during the exercise.

2. Do not pull the handle excessively far from your body to prevent shoulder strain.

3. Avoid swinging your torso while doing the exercise.
