The Cable Palm Rotational Row is an exercise that targets the muscles in the back, shoulders, and biceps. This exercise also engages the core muscles for stabilization and support.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Palm Rotational Row, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Begin by setting up a cable machine with a single handle attachment at waist height. Stand facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
2. Grab the handle with an overhand grip, palm facing down. Keep your arm fully extended and your back straight.
3. Engage your core muscles and exhale as you pull the handle towards your chest in a rowing motion. Keep your elbow close to your body as you pull the handle towards you.
4. Once the handle reaches your chest, rotate your palm so that it is facing up. This rotational movement will engage the muscles in your shoulders and forearms.
5. Hold the contraction for a moment before slowly lowering the handle back to the starting position. Keep control of the movement and prevent the weight stack from crashing down.
6. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides to work the other arm.
Remember to keep your body stable throughout the exercise, avoid using momentum to lift the weight, and control the movement to maximize muscle engagement. Start with a light weight to ensure proper form and technique before increasing the resistance.
Equipment required
Cable
Cable equipment consists of adjustable pulleys attached to weight stacks that allow for resistance training. This equipment is commonly used for strength training exercises that target various muscle groups in the body, such as chest, back, arms, and legs. Cable equipment provides a versatile and functional way to perform exercises that mimic real-life movements, improving muscle endurance, stability, and coordination.
