Cable Row With Lat Bar


Pro Tip

Try to avoid moving your head while pulling.


How To

  1. Sit down with your feet planted on the footrests and grab the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Exhale and drive your arms back towards your body, tucking your elbows in towards your sides and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  3. Continue until your elbows pass behind your back.
  4. Inhale and allow your elbows to extend and arms to raise, returning to the starting position while your shoulder blades part.
