Neutral Grip Leverage Iso Row

Technique

How to perform Neutral Grip Leverage Iso Row

1. Load the machine evenly and adjust its seat so the neutral handles are near chest level with your chest supported against the pad.
2. Plant your feet and grasp both handles with palms facing each other, keeping the wrists aligned with the forearms.
3. Pull the handles toward the torso along the machine's path, bending the elbows and letting the shoulder blades draw back without lifting the chest off the pad.
4. Pause briefly at the end of the pull without shrugging or leaning backward.
5. Straighten the arms and allow the shoulder blades to move forward under control, keeping the torso supported rather than rounding to chase extra reach.
6. Repeat without bouncing the plates against the stops, then lower the load onto its supports before releasing the handles.
