How to Do Lever Bent Over Single Arm Wide Grip Row (with chest support)
- 1Setup
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.
- 2Setup
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
