How to do Lever Bent Over Single Arm Wide Grip Row (with chest support)

01
Setup
Adjust the machine's chest pad height so your chest is firmly supported and your working arm can extend fully towards the floor without hitting the weight stack.
02
Setup
Stand beside the machine and grasp the wide grip handle with an overhand grip, ensuring your working arm is fully extended and your feet are shoulder-width apart for stability.
03
Brace your core, exhale, and pull the handle directly towards your upper abdomen, driving your elbow wide and back while focusing on squeezing your shoulder blade towards your spine.
04
Hold the peak contraction for a moment, then slowly inhale as you control the handle back to the starting position, allowing your lat to fully stretch.
05
Complete all repetitions on one side before switching to the other arm, maintaining consistent form throughout the set.

Tips

Maximize lat engagement by initiating the pull with your elbow, thinking about driving it towards the ceiling behind you rather than just pulling with your biceps.
Maintain a stable and neutral spine throughout the movement, using the chest support to prevent any unnecessary torso rotation or excessive arching.
Focus on the eccentric phase; slowly control the weight back to the starting position, feeling a deep stretch in your lat before initiating the next pull.
Keep your free hand firmly on the machine's frame or your hip to provide additional stability and prevent your torso from twisting during the pull.

Common mistakes

Using too much momentum or body english: Avoid rocking your torso to lift the weight; instead, reduce the weight to maintain strict form and isolate the back muscles.
Shrugging the shoulder: Prevent your shoulder from shrugging towards your ear during the pull by actively depressing your scapula and keeping your shoulder away from your ear.
Incomplete range of motion: Ensure you extend your arm fully at the bottom to get a complete stretch in the lat and pull the handle high enough to achieve a strong contraction.
