July 29, 2011 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Build a Thicker Back with Cable RowsBuild a thicker back by using the cable row in your routine. It is an easy to execute movement with equipment that is available at the majority of gyms you might find yourself in.

Cable Rows for a Thicker Back

The process of executing a cable row is quite simple. You can watch the video below for an explanation and example, but here is the actual description.

1.  Set the weight pin where you need it.

2. Sit on the bench and put your feet into the supports.

3. Slide back slightly and once set, sit upright.

4. Slowly pull the weight to your stomach.

5. As you reach your stomach, pull the shoulder blades together and hold for 1 second.

6. Slowly return the weight to the starting position and repeat the process the desired number of repetitions.
