How to perform
To perform the Cable Incline Bench Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Set up a cable machine with a low pulley attachment. Adjust the bench so that it is inclined at a 45-degree angle.
2. Sit on the bench facing the cable machine and grab the handle with an overhand grip, with your arms extended and shoulders relaxed.
3. Brace your core and keep your back straight as you pull the handle towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
4. Slowly return the handle to the starting position, maintaining control over the weight.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
6. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement and avoid using momentum to lift the weight. Focus on engaging the muscles of your upper back to perform the exercise effectively.
7. To increase the challenge of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the cable machine or use different handles for variety.
