Chest Supported Row

Technique

How to perform Chest Supported Row

1. Adjust the seat and chest pad of the selectorized chest-supported row machine so you can reach the handles with your chest supported.
2. Take the available neutral or palms-down grip and keep your feet planted.
3. Draw the handles toward your lower ribs with your elbows close to your torso.
4. Keep your chest against the pad instead of leaning back to finish the row.
5. Let your shoulder blades move with the pull.
6. Return the handles under control until your arms reach the starting position.
