Leverage Low Row

Technique

How to perform Leverage Low Row

1. Load the low row machine and adjust the seat and chest support so you can reach its handles without rounding or lifting your torso away from the pad.
2. Plant your feet and take a secure grip on both supplied handles with your arms extended.
3. Pull the handles toward your lower torso, bending your elbows and keeping them close to your sides.
4. Let your shoulder blades draw back with the pull while keeping your chest supported rather than leaning backward.
5. Pause briefly, then straighten your arms and let your shoulder blades move forward under control.
6. Repeat without jerking the handles or bouncing the plates on the stops.
