Low Cable Row Bilateral

Executing the Low Bilateral Cable Row: Proper Form and Tips
1. Setup:
• Attach handles to the low pulley on a cable machine.
• Select an appropriate weight.
• Stand square in an athletic position, hips back, slight lean forward, long spine.
• Grasp the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
2. Starting Position:.
• Extend your arms fully, reaching through your shoulder blades
3. Pulling the Cables:
• Pull the handles towards your torso, leading with your elbows.
• Keep your elbows close to your body, aiming to bring them just past your torso.
4. Returning to Start:
• Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position.
• Maintain control and tension in your back muscles throughout the movement.
• Avoid rounding your back as you return to the start.
5. Breathing:
• Exhale as you pull the handles towards you.
• Inhale as you extend your arms back to the starting position.
6. Repetitions:
• Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form and control.
Common Mistakes to Avoid:
• Using your lower back to initiate the pull instead of your upper back muscles.
• Allowing your shoulders to rise or hunch forward.
• Leaning too far back or using momentum to pull the handles.
• Letting the handles snap back quickly instead of controlling the return.
By following these steps and cues, you’ll effectively target your back muscles and maximize the benefits of the low bilateral cable row. Happy lifting!
