Instructions
1. Set up the cable machine with an appropriate weight. You can use a long bar or a close-grip handle for this exercise. Ensure you have a bench or a seat in place to perform the exercise from a seated position.
2. Sit down on the bench and grab the handle with an underhand (reverse) grip, meaning your palms are facing upwards. Your hands should be about shoulder-width apart.
3. Start with your arms fully extended, shoulders down and back, and your spine in a neutral position.
4. Begin the movement by driving your elbows down and back, retracting your shoulder blades as you pull the handle towards your waist.
5. Squeeze your back muscles at the end of the pulling motion, ensuring that you are not just using your arms to perform the row.
6. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, controlling the weight as you release.
7. Perform the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Remember to keep the movement controlled and focus on engaging your back muscles throughout the exercise. Adjust the weight as needed to maintain good form and to avoid using momentum to complete the rows.
