Exercise/Body/Strength/Seated Cable Row
Seated Cable Row
- Practice pulling a cable handle toward the torso while keeping the trunk steady.
Setup
- Sit tall with feet supported, knees slightly bent, and a secure grip on the handle. Begin with arms extended and the cable already under light tension.
Practice
- Pull the elbows back close to the ribs until the handle reaches the abdomen. Pause briefly, then extend the arms slowly. Keep the torso steady throughout the repetition.
Dose and Progression
- Sets, repetitions, resistance, and rest follow the training plan. Establish a repeatable movement with a light load first; add resistance gradually after completing the planned repetitions with consistent control.
Cues and Variations
- Reduce the weight if you must rock backward, shrug, or curl the wrists to finish. A chest-supported row is an alternative when keeping the torso steady is the limiting factor.
