Cable Palm Rotational Row

Attach a handle to the cable machine. Stand facing the machine. Grab the handle with an overhand grip. Keep your arms extended in front of you. Pull the handle towards your chest while rotating your palms away from your body. Pause briefly at the end of the movement. Slowly reverse the movement and return to the starting position. Repeat for desired number of repetitions.

How to perform the Cable Palm Rotational Row

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Palm Rotational Row using your cable.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your forearms.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your forearms rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
