Alternating Seated Cable Row

Back

1. Start sitting on a cable row machine with a slight bend in your knees and your hands holding the 2 separate handles. Start with your arms extended.
2. Using your back, pull one handle in toward your body. The handle should be going to about ribcage height.
3. Slowly extend your arm once again to return to the starting position.
4. Repeat on the other side.
- Keep your elbows in toward your body and drive them straight back.
- Squeeze and activate your mid-back muscles at the peak of the movement.
- Do not use excessive momentum, use your legs, or lean back during this exercise. We want to use control in order to engage the correct muscles.
- Avoid hunching over during this exercise. Focus on a straight spine and tight core.
- Keep your shoulders down.
