Machine Row Wide Grip

Description

The wide grip machine row targets the upper back, lats, and rear deltoids. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Adjust the seat and chest pad of the machine to fit your height.
  2. Sit down and place your feet on the footrests, gripping the wide handles with an overhand grip, hands wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Pull the handles towards your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  4. Pause briefly at the end of the movement, ensuring your elbows are in line with your shoulders.
  5. Slowly return the handles to the starting position, maintaining control.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
