The Cable Row 4 Main Checkpoints
- Feet
- Feet straight up and down
- Soft bend
- Trunk
- Set trunk vertical
- Torso straight up and down
- Shoulders
- Neutral Shoulders
- Grip
- Grip cable right in the middle with thumbs up or wrapped around
Performing the movement:
- Pull the shoulder blades down and back all the way
- Enough range of motion to pinch shoulder blades together
- Helps initiate and engage the lats
Proper Tempo and Breathing:
- Exhale on the pull in
- Inhale when letting the weight back down
- Controlled tempo
- Pull weight in
- Hold for 2 seconds
- Slowly lower weight with Lats not Arms
How to know if you are doing this correctly? If you feel any combination of your back muscles such as the lats, the traps, and the lower back then you are doing this correctly. If you feel it in other places such as the arms then you are probably lifting too much weight and using improper form.
You can scheme this movement in multiple rep ranges. We recommend playing around with strength, hypertrophy, and endurance.

for all back exercises i kind of like to think of my arms as cables or extensions and that im actually pulling or pushing with my back instead. Has definitely helped me in learning how to control the weight. If i start using too much arms, then i lower it til my arms feel like extensions or cables again.

If you've ever watched Arnold or Ronnie Coleman do this exercise they lean all the way forward and hinge at the hip. They do this for three reasons - a better stretch at the end, you can overload the weight for progressive overload, and now it's compound movement. I recommend it, it will really help increase your deadlift strength because if you are like me - I do this on my squat day and 48 hrs later I deadlift. You really don't have to keep your torso upright and not moving the entire time, in fact I'd argue it cripples you because you're more limited by your biceps. Just a thought.

Back movement is the ultimate multi-jointed exercise. This demonstration and commentary exemplifies proper form.

Very well explained. The seated row has become one of my favorite exercises and it's so easy to mix it up with the attachments.

I really appreciate videos like these. I am somewhat new to working out...about a year of faithfully going to the gym, and these videos help me learn new movements as well as remind myself of doing movements I already know correctly. Thank you for making videos like these. I find them extremely helpful.
