The Cable Rope Elevated Seated Row is a strength-training exercise that targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It also helps to improve grip strength and posture.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Rope Elevated Seated Row, you will need a cable machine with a rope attachment. Follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by attaching a rope handle to the low pulley of the cable machine. Sit down on the floor in front of the cable machine with your legs extended and feet flat on the floor.
2. Grasp the rope handle with an overhand grip, making sure your hands are shoulder-width apart.
3. Sit up tall with your chest lifted and shoulders relaxed. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your spine.
4. Keeping your back straight and chest lifted, pull the rope handle towards your lower chest. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
5. Slowly release the tension on the cable and return to the starting position with control.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Remember to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and focus on using proper form to avoid straining your back. Adjust the weight on the cable machine as needed to challenge yourself while maintaining proper form.
