Seated Cable Row Exercise For Women
Rows target your middle and lower traps and your rhomboids. That’s not all row hit tough. Your rear deltoids, upper traps and roator cuff are also involved acting as stabilizers in every version of the rowing movement.
I am using a cable here to add resistance on the eccentric movement as well as the concentric. This will ensure your target muscles are working throughout the entire exercise making the Seated Cable Row a great exercise for you to add into your current program. All you need to do is switch any rowing exercise for this one at any given time.
TIPS:
- Sit up straight and keep your chest up and neck in neutral position
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and keep your arms close to your body.
- When pulling the cable towards your body, push the bar down towards your thighs.
- When you row, get the bar as clsose to your body as is comfortable.

Good morning,
If you could please go into more detail regarding the hip raise off bench. I don’t believe I am hitting the hamstrings correctly and I am not sure why. I try to make sure I am not lifting with my elbows – I have watched the dvd and I am obviously missing something but I am not sure what. Or it could be that I am having an awful lot of brain fog – LOL. Thank you in advance for any information you can give me!

Hip raise on day 5? That you should be feeling more in your glutes. Keep your foot as close to your body as possible and push up through your heel of your planted foot. Get your hips as far up as possible. Going to the ground instead of a bench could also help!
can you do this with a ban in a squat postion or sitting on the floor
Yes for sure.
