How to perform Cable Standing Row with proper form

Starting Position

1. Attach Handle: Connect a single handle to the low pulley of a cable machine.
2. Stand: Face the machine, feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
3. Grip: Hold the handle with one hand, palm facing in, and take a step back to create tension in the cable.

Execution

1. Posture: Stand tall with your back straight, shoulders relaxed, and core engaged.
2. Starting Movement: Pull the handle towards your torso while bending your elbow.
3. Elbow Position: Keep your elbow close to your body as you row the handle.
4. Retract Scapula: Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement.
5. 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.
