Single arm standing cable row

| No TrackBacks
So many muscles in one movement-how could you resist?

Step #1 Put enough weight on the cable stack so that it will support your weight as you sit back as though you are sitting without a chair. Hold your back upright with your chest high, and one arm behind your back as a queue to keep the back straight.

Step #2 Initiate your pull with the palm of the working hand facing downward. As you pull the cable toward you, be sure not to move out of the starting postural position. As your hand approaches your body, turn the palm facing inward. There is a slight pause at the end of the movement, then return to the starting position.

You would use enough weight to perform 10-15 repetitions. It is not an exercise that is meant to do with too much weight, as it will pull you off balance.

Before starting this exercise program, see your doctor and verify that these exercises are suitable for your condition.
