HOW TO DO SINGLE-ARM CABLE ROW

  1. Attach one handle around lower-rib height and stand, kneel, or sit in a stable position facing the pulley.
  2. Reach the working arm forward, then drive its elbow back and pull the handle toward your lower ribs while keeping your torso mostly square.
  3. Return slowly and let the shoulder blade glide forward without losing trunk control.
  4. Avoid rotating to manufacture extra range or shrugging the shoulder toward your ear.
  5. A small, intentional amount of trunk rotation can be trained with a lighter load, but keep it consistent; the unilateral setup reveals side-to-side differences without guaranteeing that it will correct them.
