Cable Row Bar Standing Row

What you'll gain

• Loads the back and elbow flexors through a horizontal pull.

• Practises a controlled return against cable resistance.

• Combines a rowing action with a steady standing stance.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1

   Attach a paired neutral-grip row handle and set the pulley so the cable runs toward your mid-torso.

2. 2

   Hold the upright grips with your palms facing each other and step back until the cable is taut.

3. 3

   Stand with both feet planted and brace your trunk.

4. 4

   Pull the handle toward your torso, moving your elbows back alongside your body.

5. 5

   Return the handle smoothly as your arms extend.

6. 6

   Repeat while keeping your stance steady and avoiding a large backward lean.

Common Mistakes

• Leaning far backward to move the handle.

• Shrugging the shoulders throughout the pull.

• Letting the cable pull the arms forward abruptly.

• Changing the grip or attachment so the setup no longer matches the demonstration.

About This Exercise

This standing cable row uses a handle with two upright grips, allowing the palms to face each other. The mannequin stands facing the cable machine, pulls the handle toward the torso and returns it under control. The back and biceps contribute to the pull while the standing position requires a steady base. The animation makes the attachment, cable path and arm movement visible for exercise instruction. It fits horizontal-pull collections, back-focused strength programs and cable-machine tutorials.
