HOW TO DO UNILATERAL CABLE HIGH ROW

  1. Set one handle above shoulder height and use a stable standing, seated, or half-kneeling position facing the pulley.
  2. Reach upward, then pull the elbow down and slightly back as the handle travels toward your upper ribs.
  3. Let the shoulder blade rotate upward on the controlled return while keeping your trunk mostly square.
  4. Avoid yanking with a torso twist or dropping the elbow so low that this becomes a standard low row.
  5. Pulley height and elbow flare determine whether the upper back or lats receive more emphasis; match the setup on both sides when assessing differences rather than assuming the movement will correct them.
