Cable Row Standing

INTERMEDIATE

Cable Row Standing

Cable Row Standing works many muscles in your back, including the latissimus dorsi (lats), rear deltoids, trapezius (traps), rhomboids, forearms, core, and even leg to some extent. So, if you only have a short amount of time to hit as many muscles as possible, this exercise is best.

Target Muscles

Instructions

  1. Stand in front of the rope machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, and your knees slightly bent. Catch the straight bar attachment with a wide grip from the bottom position.
  2. Pull the bar toward your torso, keeping your chest forward and your back straight. Pause and then return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Don't lean forward.
  • Keep your back straight and your body tense.
  • Keep your chest up and pull your shoulder blades together, so your shoulders don't lean forward.

Alternative Exercises

T-Bar Row

STRENGTH BARBELL V-HANDLE ATTACHMENT

T-Bar Row primarily targets the lats but also strengthens many other back muscles such as the teres major, trapezius, and erector spinae. They also develop the muscles in your arms that pull biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis, and shoulders.

Dumbbell Upright Row

STRENGTH DUMBBELLS

Dumbbell Upright Row is an upper body exercise that primarily targets muscles like the deltoids, trapezius, and triceps. With regular practice, dumbbell upright rows can help you perform other compound exercises like deadlifts, bench presses, and pull-ups.
