Horizontal pull for mid back and lats. Working one side at a time lets you control each side separately.

How to do the Single Arm Low Cable Row

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Sit facing the low cable with your feet on the footrests and grab the handle with one hand.
With your torso upright, let your shoulder stretch slightly forward at the start.
Pull the handle toward the side of your abdomen, driving your elbow back and keeping it close to your body.
Return slowly without twisting your torso toward the cable. Finish your reps and switch arms.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Single Arm Low Cable Row, and how to fix it.

You twist your torso back to lengthen the pull.
Keep your chest facing the pulley and drive your elbow back without turning your shoulders.
The handle rotates and your wrist bends at the end of the pull.
Hold the handle with your thumb up and finish with your hand next to your hip, wrist straight.
Your shoulder stays forward and your shoulder blade doesn't move.
Finish each rep by pulling your shoulder blade toward your spine, and let it separate a little on the way back.
