Cable Bent-Over Reverse-Grip Row
Hinged over facing a low pulley, a bar held underhand and rowed to the waist; the palms-up grip keeps the elbows tight.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the low pulley, hinged to about 45°, back flat, knees soft, the bar held palms up.
Steps
- Row the bar to the waist, elbows close to the body.
- Hold the hinge still as the stack rises.
- Lower to long arms without letting the torso rise.
Common mistakes
Standing up as the stack rises: the hinge is the exercise. Curling the bar with the arms: the elbows lead back. Standing too close to the pulley: step back so the cable pulls down and forward.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
