Exercise Description

The seated row using rope builds a strong, wide back while improving posture. It targets your middle back muscles and helps balance out all that forward-sitting.

How To

1. Sit at the cable machine with feet on footrests and grab the rope with both hands 2. Keep your back straight and shoulders down as you prepare for the seated row using rope 3. Pull the rope toward your lower chest by squeezing your shoulder blades together 4. Hold for a second, then slowly return the rope to starting position with control 5. Repeat the seated row using rope movement for your desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and core tight throughout the entire seated row using rope movement • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms - think about squeezing your shoulder blades • Don't lean too far forward or backward during the seated row using rope • Control the weight on the way back - don't let it snap forward

Common Mistakes

• Using too much momentum and rocking back and forth during seated row using rope • Pulling the rope too high toward your neck instead of your lower chest • Letting your shoulders roll forward at the start of each seated row using rope rep
