Cable Low Row with Rope Attachment
Hinged over facing a low pulley, a rope rowed to the waist with both hands, the ends parting past the hips.
How to do it
Setup
A step back from the low pulley, knees bent, hinged with a flat back, the rope's ends in both hands.
Steps
- Row the rope to the waist, elbows along the sides.
- Split the ends as the hands pass the hips.
- Return to long arms, hinge held.
Common mistakes
Standing up as the rope comes in: the hinge is fixed. Ends held together: split them at the finish. Knees locked: soft knees protect the lower back.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
