Exercise Description

Underhand Grip Cable Row targets the multiple muscles of your body, including the middle back, and, to a lesser degree, also targets the biceps, lats, lower back, and shoulders. It also improves mobility and stability of the shoulders and core.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Sit on a low cable station and grab a straight barbell with an overhand grip. Plant your feet firmly on the platform and, using your legs (not your back), push off to the starting position with your arms fully extended and supporting your weight.
  • Step 2

    Without moving your upper body, pull the cable attachment toward your waist. Keep your chest forward and your shoulders down as you arch your back. Return the weight until the arms are fully extended and repeat the movement. To finish the set, return the weight to the starting position by bending your knees, not your lower back.

Muscle Groups

Underhand-Grip Cable Row targets Abs, Back, Biceps, Shoulders as seen below.
