2. Adjust the weight on the machine to a suitable level for your fitness level.
3. Reach forward and grasp the rope attachment with an overhand grip, making sure your hands are shoulder-width apart.
4. Pull the rope towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body and squeezing your shoulder blades together as you row.
5. Pause at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the rope back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. To target different areas of the back, you can adjust the height of the attachment point on the cable machine.
