Equipment

Form Cues
-
Attach a single D-handle to the seated row cable.
-
Sit on the bench with feet planted on the platform and knees slightly bent.
-
Hold the handle in one hand with a neutral grip, arm extended forward.
-
Keep your torso upright — avoid rounding or excessively leaning back.
-
Pull the handle toward your lower ribs, driving your elbow back and squeezing the shoulder blade toward the spine.
-
Hold the contracted position briefly, feeling the mid-back and lat on the working side.
-
Extend the arm back to the start with control, letting the shoulder blade move forward into a stretch.
-
Resist the pull of the cable to let your torso rotate — keep it square.
-
Complete all reps on one side before switching.
