Cable Lying Upright Row
The cable upright row done lying face up with the feet toward a low pulley; lying down keeps the torso and hips out of it.
How to do it
Setup
Lying face up, feet toward a low pulley, bar on the thighs, overhand grip shoulder-width.
Steps
- Pull the bar along the body toward the chest, elbows leading out.
- Stop when the elbows reach shoulder level.
- Let the bar slide back to the thighs with control.
Common mistakes
Bar lifting off the body: it travels close along the torso. Elbows passing shoulder level: stop there; further crowds the joint. Letting the stack snap the bar back: return as slowly as you pulled.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale lowering.
