Wide Grip Seated Cable Row

Upper Back Machine

Description

The wide-grip seated cable row is a back exercise that primarily targets the upper lats, rhomboids, and rear deltoids, while also engaging the biceps and forearms. In this exercise, individuals sit at a cable machine with their feet secured, grasp a wide bar and pull it toward their torso while keeping the chest up and shoulders back. This movement helps build upper back strength, improve posture, and enhance overall pulling power.

How To

01 Sit with feet braced on the footrest, knees soft
02 Grip the wide bar and set your chest tall, shoulders back
03 Pull the bar to your torso, driving elbows out wide
04 Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the finish
05 Extend your arms back out under control, keeping tension on the lats
