Coach's Tips

The undergrip seated cable row is a back exercise that strengthens your lower lats and biceps. It’s great for learning the pulling pattern and lets you keep your upper body stable.

How to Underhand Seated Cable Row

Starting Position

1. Sit on the cable row machine and secure your feet on the footplate.

2. Use an underhand grip (palms facing up) to grab the handle.

3. Slightly bend your knees and keep your upper body straight as you extend your arms forward to start.

Proper Form

1. Push your chest out and pull your elbows in towards your body, bringing the handle close to your belly button.

2. Pull your shoulders back and contract your back by squeezing your shoulder blades together.

3. Maintain a slight tilt to prevent your upper body from leaning back excessively.

4. Slowly extend your arms and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling the handle, and inhale while extending your arms and turning.

Precautions

1. Do not round your waist; maintain a straight spine.

2. Do not lean back with momentum; pull only with the strength of your back muscles.

3. Keep your wrists in a neutral position to avoid excessive bending.
