Wide-Grip Seated Cable Row — back compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Wide-Grip Seated Cable Row

Compound · Weight × reps

Attach a wide bar to the low pulley, brace your feet, and sit tall with an overhand grip wider than shoulder width. Avoid shortening the pull with an excessively wide grip or leaning far backward to make the bar touch. Compared with a tucked-elbow row, this path can emphasize the upper back and rear shoulders; adjust width and target height to a range your shoulders tolerate.
