Cable Front Seated Row
The seated cable row with the chest against an upright pad and the cable at chest height; the pad keeps the torso out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Seated facing the stack, chest on the pad, the bar at chest height on long arms.
Steps
- Pull the bar to the lower chest, elbows sliding back.
- Keep the chest on the pad through the whole pull.
- Return long with control.
Common mistakes
Chest peeling off the pad: the support is the point; lighter stack. Shrugging on the pull: blades down, then back. Cutting the return short: let the arms reach long every rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
