Cable Bent-Over Row
Hinged over facing a low pulley, a short straight bar rowed to the waist; the cable keeps the pull even from the bottom to the top.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the low pulley a step back, hinged to about 45°, back flat, the short bar held overhand.
Steps
- Row the bar to the waist, elbows along the body.
- Keep the torso angle as the stack rises.
- Lower to long arms with control.
Common mistakes
Straightening up as the stack rises: the hinge is the exercise. Standing so close the cable pulls straight up: step back until it pulls down and forward. Elbows flaring: along the ribs.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
