Wide-Grip Seated Cable Row

Wide hands on a long bar pulled to the chest; the elbows flare and the mid-back takes over from the lats.

How to do it

Setup

Long bar gripped wide, seated tall, arms long toward the pulley.

Steps

  1. Pull the bar to the CHEST, elbows flaring wide.
  2. Squeeze the mid-back at the touch.
  3. Return long, letting the blades spread.

Common mistakes

Pulling low to the belly: that is the narrow version; this one comes HIGH with wide elbows. Leaning back to finish: tall pillar. Grip wider than control: wide, not extreme.

Breathing

Exhale on the row, inhale returning.
