The Cable One Arm Bent Over Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the back, specifically the latissimus dorsi and rhomboids. This exercise also engages the biceps and forearms as secondary muscle groups.
How to perform
To perform the Cable One Arm Bent Over Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a single grip handle attached to the low pulley.
2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
3. Grab the handle with one hand, palm facing inwards, and step back so that there is tension on the cable.
4. Engage your core and hinge at the hips to lower your torso towards the floor, keeping your back straight and chest up.
5. With a slight bend in the elbow, pull the handle towards your hip, keeping your elbow close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement.
6. Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
7. Complete the desired number of repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm.
8. Remember to keep your back flat and avoid using momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to injury.
This exercise can be performed as part of a back or upper body workout routine and is effective for building strength and muscle definition in the back and arms. Be sure to use proper form and choose a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of repetitions with good technique.
