Technique

How to perform Neutral Grip Leverage Iso Row

  1. Load an appropriate weight onto the pins and adjust the seat height so that the handles are at chest level.
  2. Grasp both handles with a neutral grip.
  3. This will be your starting position.
  4. Pull the handles towards your torso, retracting your shoulder blades as you flex the elbow.
  5. Pause at the bottom of the motion, and then slowly return the handle to the starting position.
  6. For multiple repetitions, avoid completely returning the weight to the stops to keep tension on the muscles being worked.
