HOW TO DO STRAIGHT-BAR SEATED CABLE ROW

  1. Take a comfortable overhand grip and pull the bar toward your lower ribs or upper abdomen by driving both elbows back.
  2. Keep the wrists straight and avoid rocking the torso to move the bar.
  3. Grip width changes the elbow path and fixed bars may expose wrist or shoulder discomfort; choose a width you can control, and remember that a shared bar does not guarantee equal contribution from both arms.
