The Cable Standing Twist Row (V-Bar) exercise is a compound exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, and arms. It also engages the core muscles as you twist your torso during the movement.
How to perform
To perform Cable Standing Twist Row (V-Bar) exercise, follow these steps:1. Begin by attaching a V-bar attachment to the low pulley of a cable machine.
2. Stand facing the machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
3. Grasp the V-bar with an overhand grip, palms facing each other, and extend your arms fully in front of you.
4. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body and keep your back straight.
5. Pull the V-bar towards your abdomen by retracting your shoulder blades and squeezing your back muscles.
6. As you pull the V-bar towards you, twist your torso to the side, keeping your hips square and your back straight. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.
7. Pause at the top of the movement and squeeze your back muscles before slowly returning to the starting position.
8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides and repeat the movement on the other side.
9. Remember to keep the movement controlled and focus on proper form to avoid injury. Adjust the weight as needed to ensure you can complete the set with proper technique.
