Yes, upper back rows are still a great exercise for the traps and rhomboids… As long as they’re performed correctly. Make sure you’re retracting that scapula using the CUE as shown. Alongside this, keep the spine neutral, elbows flared, chest supported and feet planted. 📥 DM me “GROW” for 1-1 coaching #gym #upperlower #upperlowersplit #optimal #hypertrophy sciencebasedlifting sciencebasedlifter fyp

Chest Supported Row Tips > Upper Back bias 1.] Chest pad wants to be as far out as possible in most cases to allow you to get a huge stretch. Protract your scapula & let your upper back round over. 2.] The seat wants to be set so you can let your upper back round over the top & have your elbows pull back towards your chest & out vs. towards your hips & in close to your side. 3.] Really control the eccentric & for bonus points pause at full stretch. This will be hard AF but super stimulative for growth. 4.] Drive & initiate with your upper back vs. pulling through your arms, think hands as hooks / use straps or grip support. 5.] Before you initiate the concentric, brace hard, you can breathe out on the eccentric. 6.] I am performing lengthened partials, it’s not a must but a thing to try. We get weaker as we come short & the movement gets harder, plus the lengthened range is likely the most muscle building ROM - taken together there is rationale for partials, even if it’s just at the end of your set. Save this for future & if you need help with your technique we review our clients form videos & provide in-depth feedback so they get the most from every exercise - check out our coaching @revivestronger linked in my bio

Don't neglect your back! 💥 This shows two great variations of the Cable Row to hit your entire posterior chain. •​High Cable Row: Focus on pulling down and back to target the Lats and Upper Back for that V-taper. •​Low Cable Row (Seated/Leaned): Great for a thicker, denser Middle Back. ​Remember to lead with your elbows and squeeze those shoulder blades! ​ #BackDay #CableRow #BackWorkout #Lats #Rhomboids #UpperBack #MiddleBack #BuildYourBack #FitnessMotivation #StrengthTraining #GymRoutine #gymideas #gymtechnique

Target Different Back Muscles on Cable Rows Cable row variations aren’t all the same — your grip and pulling path can shift which muscles do more of the work. 🔹 V-Handle Row — Keep your elbows closer to your sides and pull lower toward your waist to place more emphasis on the lats. 🔹 Medium MAG Grip Row — Pull a bit higher, around upper stomach level, to better target the mid-back. 🔹 Wide-Grip Row (using a lat pulldown bar) — Flare the elbows more and pull toward the chest to involve more upper back and rear delts.
