How to Do Cable Seated Row
Form Cues
- 1
Sit upright with slight lean back, drive elbows straight back past your torso
- 2
Squeeze shoulder blades together at the end position
- 3
Keep your chest up throughout, avoiding a rounded upper back
- 4
Let the weight stack return you to a full stretch before the next pull
Common Mistakes
- ●
Using too much body momentum and swinging back — keep the torso relatively upright with only a slight controlled lean
- ●
Rounding the shoulders forward at the start of each rep instead of maintaining an upright chest
- ●
Pulling with the arms only instead of driving the elbows back and squeezing the shoulder blades
Equipment Variations
- ▸
Dumbbell bent over row
- ▸
Barbell bent over row for heavier loading
