| Use a grip that is wider than the width of your shoulders. You may have to change to a wider bar attachment. Also, this video only shows the exercise being done from the low pulley wheel, so don't forget to attach your bar to the upper pulley wheel! Keep your knees slightly bent. Your upper body should be perpendicular to the ground. Exhale and pull the weight towards your upper abdominal area. Keep your elbows high and wide and you row the weight in. Slowly return the weight to an arms extended position. Maintain an upright posture. Don't let the weight jerk your upper body causing your back to round over. The rowing exercises are great for overal back development but the wide grip position helps to isolate your upper back more specifically. |
