The Cable Seated High Row (V-Bar) exercise is a strength training exercise that targets the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It mimics the motion of rowing a boat and helps build muscle and improve posture.
How to perform
To perform the Cable Seated High Row (V-Bar) exercise, follow these steps:1. Sit down on the rowing machine seat and place your feet flat on the platform in front of you. Adjust the seat so that the handles are at chest level.
2. Grab the V-bar attachment with an overhand grip, palms facing each other. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your back straight, chest up, and engage your core muscles.
4. Pull the V-bar towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Keep your elbows close to your body as you pull the bar in.
5. Slowly release the bar back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
7. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, exhaling as you pull the bar towards you and inhaling as you release it back to the starting position.
8. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can adjust the weight on the cable machine.
Make sure to start with a light weight and focus on proper form before increasing the weight. Consult with a fitness professional if you are new to this exercise to ensure you are performing it correctly and safely.
