Cable Seated Row (V-bar)

Expert Advice

Keep your back straight and avoid using your body momentum to ensure maximum engagement of the back muscles.

Attach a V-bar to a low pulley cable machine and sit down on the bench.
Place your feet on the platform and slightly bend your knees.
Lean forward to grab the V-bar with both hands using a neutral grip.
Sit back with your arms extended, keeping your back straight.
Pull the V-bar towards your waist, retracting your shoulder blades as you row.
Pause and squeeze your back muscles, then slowly return to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
