Cable Row Wide Grip

Horizontal pull for mid back and lats. The wide grip changes the path of your elbows.

How to do the Cable Row Wide Grip

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Attach a long bar to the low cable and grab it with your hands wider than your shoulders.
Sit with your feet on the footrests, your knees slightly bent and your torso upright.
Pull the bar toward your lower chest, driving your elbows out and back.
Return slowly until your arms are straight, without swinging your torso.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Cable Row Wide Grip, and how to fix it.

Your elbows drop tight to your body and you lose the wide-grip effect.
With the wide bar, let your elbows flare out to the sides and pull the bar to your lower chest.
You grip the bar so wide that your wrists bend outward.
Grip the bar a little wider than your shoulders, with your wrists straight and in line with your forearms.
Your torso lunges forward on the way back and your back rounds.
Return with your chest up and your lower back still until your arms are straight.
