Seated Cable Row Neutral Grip

exercise_detail.description

The Seated Cable Row Neutral Grip is a compound exercise targeting the muscles of the back, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius. It also engages the biceps and forearms as secondary muscles. This exercise is performed using a cable machine with a neutral grip attachment, allowing for a natural hand position that reduces strain on the wrists.

1. Sit on the bench of a cable row machine with your feet firmly placed on the foot platform.
2. Adjust the knee pad to ensure your legs are stable and slightly bent.
3. Grasp the neutral grip handle with both hands, palms facing each other.
4. Keep your back straight and chest up as you pull the handle towards your torso.
5. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
6. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

exercise_detail.tips

• Ensure your back remains straight throughout the exercise to prevent injury.
• Focus on pulling with your back muscles rather than your arms to maximize effectiveness.
• Keep your elbows close to your body during the movement for better engagement of the back muscles.
• Avoid leaning too far forward or backward; maintain a stable torso position.
• Control the movement speed, especially when returning to the starting position, to enhance muscle engagement.
