Machine Reverse-Grip Vertical Row
The seated machine row with an underhand grip on the handles; the palms face up and the elbows drive back close to the ribs.
How to do it
Setup
Seated with the chest against the pad, feet planted, the handles taken underhand, arms long.
Steps
- Pull the handles back, elbows close to the ribs.
- Hold the squeeze with the chest on the pad.
- Return long without the stack touching down.
Common mistakes
Curling the handles in: the elbows lead; the hands only hold. Chest leaving the pad to finish: a lighter stack. Wrists bending back: keep them in line with the forearms.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
