Cable Bent-Over Row

A cable rowing variation providing constant tension throughout the movement.

How to do it

1. Attach a straight or V-bar to a low cable pulley.
2. Hinge at the hips with knees slightly bent.
3. Pull the handle toward your lower chest.
4. Squeeze your shoulder blades at the top.
5. Lower with control and repeat.

Tips

• Hold the hinge position steady instead of standing up as you pull.
• Keep your back flat from head to hips throughout.
• Resist the cable's pull on the way back to full stretch.
