The seated row with a straight bar at shoulder width, pulled to the upper belly.
How to do it
Setup
Feet on the platform, straight bar at shoulder-width, back tall, arms long.
Steps
- Pull the bar to the upper belly.
- Elbows brush the body, blades squeeze.

Common mistakes
Rocking for reps: the torso is a pillar. Wrists curling at the pull: straight line, knuckles forward. Shrugging: blades down, then together.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
