Cable Split Stance Single Arm Row

Stand in a split stance with one foot forward and the other back. Hold the cable handle in one hand, keeping your arm extended.

  1. Engage your core and pull the handle towards your torso, keeping your elbow close to your body.
  2. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your shoulder blade.
  3. Slowly lower the handle back to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions before switching sides.

How to perform the Cable Split Stance Single Arm Row

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Cable Split Stance Single Arm 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 latissimus dorsi.
  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 latissimus dorsi 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.
