Cable Seated Supine-grip Row

The Cable Seated Supine-grip Row targets your back muscles while promoting proper posture.

  1. Sit on the cable machine with your feet flat on the platform.
  2. Grab the handle with a supine grip (palms facing you).
  3. Pull the handle towards your torso, keeping your elbows close to your body.
  4. Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position.

How to perform the Cable Seated Supine-grip Row

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Seated Supine-grip 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 rotator cuff.
  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 rotator cuff 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.
