Cable Standing Row
Standing in a half squat facing a chest-height pulley, a short straight bar rowed to the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the pulley in a half squat, the bar at chest height, hands at shoulder width, arms long.
Steps
- Row the bar to the chest, elbows past the ribs.
- Hold the half squat still while the arms work.
- Return the bar forward to long arms.
Common mistakes
Standing up with each pull: the half squat holds the base. Leaning back to move the stack: torso still, lighter weight. Pulling to the belly: the bar comes to the chest.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
