Cable Rope Seated Row
The rope row seated with the cable running level from chest height; the rope comes to the lower chest with the ends split.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the long bench, feet on the plate, the rope at chest height, torso upright.
Steps
- Row the rope straight back to the lower chest.
- Split the ends and squeeze the blades at the finish.
- Return long, torso still upright.
Common mistakes
Dropping the elbows to pull low: the line stays level with the chest. Leaning back to move the stack: upright torso, lighter weight. Ends held together: the split finishes each rep.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
