How to perform the Lever Bent Over Wide Grip Row (with chest support)

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lever Bent Over Wide Grip Row (with chest support) using your leverage machine.

  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.
