Make every rep count.
- 01
Set up: Adjust the seat so your feet are firmly planted and your knees stay slightly bent. The handles should line up around mid‑chest height. Select an appropriate weight.
- 02
Start position: Grip the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Sit tall with your chest up, core braced, shoulders down and back, and arms extended (keep a soft bend in the elbows).
- 03
Row: Initiate the pull by driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pull the handles toward your torso without shrugging or leaning way back.
- 04
Return with control: Slowly let the handles travel forward until your arms are fully extended again, keeping your torso steady and your shoulder blades controlled.
- 05
Repeat: Keep each rep smooth and controlled—no jerking, swinging, or using momentum.
