Cable Single Arm Row
A step-by-step form guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the lift, what to watch for, and the muscles it trains.
- Equipment
- Cable
HOW TO PERFORM
- Clip a single handle to the low pulley of the cable row station and sit with the feet on the platform and a slight bend in the knees.
- Take the handle in one hand and sit tall, letting that arm reach forward and the shoulder blade travel with it.
- Row the handle to the side of the abdomen, driving the elbow back past the ribs.
- Return under control to a full reach, then finish the set and switch arms.
FORM TIPS
- Keep the chest facing the stack. Twisting the torso to finish the rep moves the work off the back.
