The Cable Standing Row (V-Bar) exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the upper back, shoulders, and biceps. It is performed using a cable machine with a V-bar attachment.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Standing Row (V-Bar) exercise, follow these steps:1. Begin by setting the cable machine with the V-bar attachment at an appropriate height.
2. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart.
3. Grab the V-bar attachment with an overhand grip, palms facing down, and arms fully extended.
4. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged.
5. Pull the V-bar attachment towards your lower chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you row.
6. Pause at the top of the movement and squeeze your back muscles before slowly returning to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
8. Make sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise by keeping your back straight and not using momentum to complete the movement.
It is important to start with a light weight and gradually increase the resistance as you build strength and improve your form. Consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about how to perform the exercise correctly.
