Coach's Tips

A diverging row is a machine row where your arms spread apart as you pull. The handles move outward, working your lats and outer back.

1. Sit on the machine seat and secure your feet on the footrest.

2. Rest your chest on the pad or keep your upper body straight to stabilize your body.

3. Grab the handles with both hands and extend your arms forward to start.

1. Pull the handle towards your body by drawing your elbows back.

2. Feel the latissimus dorsi stretch and contract as your arms move outward.

3. Keep your upper body steady and focus on contracting your back muscles.

4. Slowly return the handle to the starting position.

Exhale when pulling the handle, and inhale when returning.

1. Start with light weights until you adapt to the wide grip.

2. If you feel pain in your shoulders, stop immediately and adjust the angle and weight.

3. Keep your upper body fixed so that your lower back does not come off the pad.
