Exercise Description

The thibaudeau kayak row builds a thick, strong middle back while hitting your lats and core. It mimics kayak paddling motion for better pulling power.

How To

1. Set cable at chest height and grab handle with both hands 2. Step back to create tension, feet shoulder-width apart 3. Pull handle to your chest while rotating your torso slightly like paddling a kayak 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of each thibaudeau kayak row rep 5. Control the weight back to starting position and repeat the thibaudeau kayak row movement

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire thibaudeau kayak row movement • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms • Add a slight torso rotation to mimic the kayak paddling motion during each thibaudeau kayak row • Don't let the weight pull your shoulders forward at the start

Common Mistakes

• Using too much arm strength instead of focusing on back muscles during the thibaudeau kayak row • Standing too close to the cable machine, reducing the range of motion • Rushing through the thibaudeau kayak row without controlling the negative portion
