How to: Cable Elevated Row
- Set the cable pulley at waist height and attach a handle.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grasp the handle with one hand.
- Step back to tension the cable and bend your knees slightly.
- Pull the handle towards your abdomen while keeping your elbow close to your body.
- Squeeze your back muscles at the end of the movement, then slowly return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes
- Pulling the elbows too far back instead of keeping them close to the body.
- Arching the back during the row.
Modifications

- Perform the exercise seated if standing poses a challenge.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and engage your core throughout the movement.
- Avoid using momentum by controlling the movement both on the pull and the release.
