The Cable Floor Seated Wide-Grip Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles of the back, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and traps. This exercise is done using a cable machine with a wide-grip handle attachment.
How to perform
Instructions:1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a wide-grip handle attached to the low pulley. Sit on the floor in front of the machine with your legs extended in front of you and your knees slightly bent.
2. Grab the handle with both hands, palms facing each other, and sit up tall with your back straight.
3. Engage your core and pull the handle towards your lower chest, driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
4. Hold the contraction for a moment, then slowly release the handle back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
6. Make sure to keep your back straight and avoid rounding your shoulders during the exercise. Focus on using your back muscles to perform the movement rather than relying on momentum.
7. Adjust the weight on the machine as needed to ensure proper form and challenge yourself appropriately.
