Single-Arm Cable Row
One handle at a time, letting the shoulder reach forward at the start and pulling the elbow past the ribs.
How to do it
Setup
Seated or staggered at a low pulley, one handle, arm long.
Steps
- Let the shoulder reach forward at the start.
- Row the handle to the ribs, blade sweeping back.
- Return long, shoulder reaching again.
Common mistakes
Skipping the forward reach: the extra stretch is the variant's gift. Rotating the torso: square shoulders, the blade moves. Jerky pulls: the cable rewards smooth.
Breathing
Exhale on the row, inhale on the reach.
