#Rows Exercise

Same machine. Different grips. Totally different results. Stop doing rows on autopilot… use your grip to target exactly what you’re trying to grow. Which one are you using most? 👇

Key Technical Points for the Seated Cable Row: 1. Use a neutral grip: This helps reduce excessive involvement of the forearm flexors and enhances activation of the back muscles. 2. Maintain consistent elbow angle: Avoid actively flexing the forearms during the pull to prevent biceps dominance. Keep the humerus and forearm at approximately a 90-degree angle to ensure primary engagement of the latissimus dorsi. 3. Depress the scapulae: Do not shrug your shoulders. Actively pull the shoulder blades downward to engage the lower trapezius and lats while minimizing shoulder tension. 4. Control torso movement: Avoid excessive leaning back, which can lead to compensation by the spinal erectors and upper back. Maintain a neutral spine or a slight lean of about 10-15 degrees for optimal posture. 5. Keep the humerus close to the torso: As you pull, the elbows should track along the sides of the body, keeping the upper arms close. This maximizes activation of the mid-fibers of the latissimus dorsi. #cablerows #back #backworkout #upperbody #workouttips #gymtipsforbeginners #gymtips #gymrat #gymgirl #fyp #gymmotivation

Save this for your next Back Day 💡 Barbell Bent Rows 💪🏾 The bent-over row is a staple exercise to grow that cobra back, it may seem daunting at first so here is a great way to start with your form to ensure an optimal workout 💪🏾 It isolates the muscles in the back, lats, shoulders, glutes and hamstrings which makes it an ideal tool for strengthening and stabilizing the shoulder, strengthening the core 🔥 Key things to Remember 📝 1. If this is a new movement for you, start with a light weight to ensure you use proper form. 2. Be sure to keep your knees slightly bent and hinge at the hips in order to protect your lower back. Keep a neutral spine throughout the movement. 3. Perform the movement slowly. Avoid swinging the weight up as this will cause your head to shoot forward and your back to arch, which can increase risk of injury. 4. Keep your head inline with your torso as you perform the movement. It helps to look at a spot on the floor about 12 inches in front of where the barbell begins. Remember 🙌🏾 when you prioritise your form, you’ll reap all the benefits from this exercise. Want more training tips?

💪 Best Way to Do Seated Cable Rows

Here's a step-by-step guide for performing seated cable rows correctly✅️ 1. Sit down on the seated row machine with your feet flat on the footrest, knees slightly bent, and grasp the handles with an overhand grip (palms facing down). 2. Keep your back straight, chest up, and shoulders relaxed. This is your starting position. 3. Begin the movement by pulling the handles towards your torso, leading with your elbows. Keep your wrists straight throughout the movement. 4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the end of the movement to fully engage your back muscles. 5. Slowly reverse the movement, extending your arms until they are fully stretched, but without allowing the weight to touch down. Keep tension in your back muscles throughout the exercise. 🎥: @cambiandoafit #backexcercises #backworkout #gymtips

Hardly anyone ever does bent over barbell rows properly. That is, with them staying in that bent over position. Now there are many other row variations that are a lot easier to execute but if you are going to do bent over barbell rows, you have to focus on keeping those erectors engaged and staying in the bent over position so you avoid turning the movement into a pseudo shrug

Proper rows (for a V taper)

Stop making these common seated row mistakes! 🚫💪 If you want to maximize back growth and protect your spine, your form needs to be locked in. Here’s the breakdown: •Posture Check: Don't lean back and overextend your spine (top video). Instead, keep a slight, natural curve in your lower back and stay upright to keep the tension on your lats and rhomboids. •Shoulder Blade Movement: The real magic happens with scapular retraction. Don't keep your shoulders static (bottom video, top view). Focus on pulling your shoulder blades together as you row to fully engage the mid-back muscles. Small tweaks lead to big gains! 🔥 #GymTips #SeatedRow #BackDay #FormMatters #FitnessMotivation #GymMistakes #BuildYourBack #WorkoutTips #Bodybuilding

Link in bio. ❌ FIX THIS Cable Row Mistake A common mistake on the cable row is keeping your shoulder blades squeezed together throughout the entire movement. This limits your range of motion and reduces the stretch on your lats and traps. To maximize engagement, let your shoulder blades protract (move apart) when your arms are fully extended, then retract them as you pull the handle toward your belly button. At full extension, it’s normal for your upper back to round slightly — this helps your shoulder blades fully separate and allows a deeper stretch in the lats and traps. As you pull, gradually straighten or slightly arch your back to achieve a strong contraction through the lats and mid-back. Size & Shred Training program 👉🏻 deltabolic.com (link in bio) #cablerow

Coming for those cable rows!! 🚣‍♀️🚣🏻‍♀️ Reminder: The back grows with rows. The benefits of seated cable rows in particular is that you’re minimising fatigue in your low back and you can isolate + control the movement more (if the form is looking good). Here are some tips as you row: ⭐️ Pull hands to your ribcage, not your chest. Elbows should stay around 90 degrees since we don’t want the arms getting over-involved. ⭐️ If your shoulders are shrugging up, you’re passing the load to your traps. We want the shoulders pulled down away from the ears so we can keep the tension in our mid-back + lats. ⭐️ Keep a neutral spine, core tight. Avoid excessively rounding your back. ⭐️ Keep elbows in close to you as you row and drive them back behind you while contracting your back. Note: There is variation among different cable attachments. I’d typically grab a close grip attachment instead of the individual handles, but these can work as well. Hope this clicks for someone! 🙌 Keep up the good work! #row #cablerows #backgains #exercisetips #backday
