How to perform Archer Row
- Set the rings so you can lean back with straight arms, heels grounded and your body aligned.
- Begin with both hands in front of you and tension shared between the rings.
- Row one hand toward your ribs while opening the opposite arm out to the side near shoulder height, keeping that elbow nearly straight.
- Keep your hips level and avoid twisting to finish the pull.
- Return both hands to the symmetrical starting position under control.
- Complete the intended repetitions, then switch the rowing and assisting arms.
