Machine Bent-Over Wide-Grip Row (with Chest Support)
The chest-supported machine row on the wide handles, the elbows flaring out to pull toward the upper chest.
How to do it
Setup
Chest on the pad, feet on the platform, the wide handles held overhand, arms long.
Steps
- Row the handles with the elbows out wide.
- Pinch the blades together at the top.
- Let the levers down to long arms.
Common mistakes
Elbows tucking to the ribs: wide is the variant. Shrugging as the levers rise: shoulders away from the ears. Chest coming off the pad: less weight.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale lowering.
