Cable Rope Seated Low Row
The seated rope row from the low pulley with a hinge: reach forward from the hips at the stretch, then row the rope to the belly as the torso comes upright.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the row bench, feet on the plate, knees soft, the rope from the low pulley in both hands, arms long.
Steps
- Hinge forward from the hips with a long back, arms reaching to the pulley.
- Row the rope to the belly as the torso comes upright, elbows along the ribs.
- Let the arms straighten and hinge forward again under control.
Common mistakes
Rounding the lower back at the reach: hinge from the hips, spine long. Yanking with the torso: the back comes upright as the arms pull, not before. Leaning back past upright: stop tall at the finish.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
