Exercise Description

The cable row to neck exercise builds your middle back muscles and improves posture. It targets the rhomboids and middle traps better than regular rows.

How To

1. Set the cable machine to chest height and attach a rope or wide grip bar to perform the cable row to neck exercise. 2. Stand with feet hip-width apart, grab the handle with both hands using an overhand grip. 3. Pull your shoulder blades back and down, then row the handle toward your neck while keeping your chest up. 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the cable row to neck movement. 5. Slowly return to the starting position with control, feeling the stretch in your back muscles.

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows high and wide during the cable row to neck to target the middle traps effectively. • Pull to your neck level, not your chest, to get the full benefit of this exercise. • Stand tall with a slight forward lean but keep your core tight throughout the movement. • Focus on squeezing your shoulder blades together rather than just pulling with your arms.

Common Mistakes

• Pulling too low toward the chest instead of the neck reduces the cable row to neck effectiveness. • Using momentum or swinging your body instead of controlled movement during the cable row to neck. • Letting your shoulders roll forward or losing the shoulder blade squeeze at the top position.
