Exercise Description

The row exercise builds a strong, wide back and improves your posture. It targets your lats while strengthening your entire pulling chain for real upper body power.

How To

1. Sit at the cable machine with feet flat on footplates, knees slightly bent 2. Grab the handle with both hands, arms fully extended, chest up and shoulders back 3. Pull the handle to your lower chest by driving your elbows back behind your body 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the row movement 5. Slowly return to starting position with control, feeling the stretch in your lats

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and core tight throughout the entire row movement • Pull with your back muscles, not your arms - think about squeezing your shoulder blades • Don't lean too far forward or backward during the row exercise • Focus on a smooth, controlled tempo both pulling and returning

Common Mistakes

• Using momentum and rocking your torso instead of controlled row movement • Pulling too high toward your neck instead of your lower chest during the row • Letting your shoulders roll forward and losing that strong posture
