Overhand Cable Rows

Muscles Targeted:

  • This cable exercise primarily targets the back and secondarily targets the biceps and rear delt.

Form:

  • Attach a Lat Bar or EZ Bar to the cable row attachment.

  • Sit upright with the legs completely extended except for a slight bend in the knee.

  • Keep your chest up, your hands slightly wider than shoulder width, and pull the cable toward your abdomen.

  • Remember, the area you pull the bar toward will mirror the area of your back that will be targeted most. Rowing high will involve the traps and upper lats more, while rowing lower will isolate the lower lat better.

Rep Ranges:

  • Perform this exercise in moderate to high rep ranges,

  • Combine it with other exercises in supersets or in circuits.
