Cable Seated Row

Instructions

Preparation

Sit on platform with knees bent and grasp cable attachment. Position knees with a slight bend.

Execution

Pull cable attachment to waist while straightening lower back. Pull shoulders back and push chest forward during contraction. Return until arms are extended, shoulders are stretched forward, and lower back is flexed foward. Repeat.

Comments

Begin with light weight and add additional weight gradually to allow lower back adequate adaptation. Do not pause or bounce at bottom of lift. Do not lower weight beyond a mild stretch. Full range of motion through the lower back will vary from person to person. See Cable Seated Row Question. Also see Cable Straight Back Seated Row and Dangerous Exercise Essay.
