Cable Twisting Standing Row
One handle rowed from a chest-height pulley in a split stance, the torso turning open as the elbow drives back.
How to do it
Setup
Split stance facing the pulley, one handle at chest height on a long arm.
Steps
- Drive the elbow back and let the ribs turn with it.
- Stop with the hand at the side of the chest.
- Rotate back toward the pulley on the return.
Common mistakes
Hips turning with the chest: the rotation stays above the belt. Pulling with the arm and no turn: the twist is the variant. Front knee locked: soft knees under the turn.
Breathing
Exhale on the row and turn, inhale returning.
