In today's video I'm going to be going to be covering 5 of the most common mistakes I see on the cable row machine every time I hit the gym & how you can fix them. MISTAKE #1 - GOING TOO HEAVY Now don't get this confused with NOT going heavy. You do need to go heavy if your goal is to build strength, however; don't go so heavy that you cannot handle the weight properly. Going too heavy you won't be getting a proper peak contraction and you'll end up missing most of the eccentric contraction. Go heavy but control it. MISTAKE #2 - STOP CREATING MOMENTUM! This one doesn't always mean you're too heavy, but it's giving yourself that slight burst at the beginning of the rep and you end up taking away from the force you could be putting on your lat muscle. MISTAKE #3 - STOP PULLING INTO YOUR CHEST! This is a back exercise, and what happens when you're pulling too high is instead you are targeting mostly the biceps. Any cable row movement will hit your biceps, but much much less than if you pull into your chest. The whole point of a row is to drive your elbow down and back, so next time pull the weight down into your bellybutton area instead of your chest. MISTAKE #4 - STOP ROLLING SHOULDERS FORWARD! You can row it down like mentioned in the previous tip but if your shoulders are rolled forward you can still perform this movement wrong. Instead, first retract your scapula and pull your shoulders back. This one adjustment will engage the lats 10X more. MISTAKE #5 - STOP USING THE SAME GRIP ALL THE TIME! Your main exercises for back will be pull-downs and rows, but that doesn't mean you should always use the same grip. You should switch it up to underhand, wide-grip, overhand grip, neutral grip, grab a rope. I recommend changing your grip every 4-6 weeks or so to keep your body from hitting a plateau. BONUS TIP - USE WRIST WRAPS WHEN GOING HEAVY! Personally I like using the Verssa Grips. Your back will ALWAYS be way stronger your forearms ever will be - and typically your forearms & grip will give out before your back ever would & by using these grips, you will take that out of the equation and be able to fully fatigue your lats much better. #vshred #backworkout #workout 5 Common Mistakes for Cable Row (FIX THESE!)    • 5 Common Mistakes for Cable Row (FIX THESE...   --------------------------------------------- ► Take our FREE Body Type Quiz today! https://vshred.com/sp/survey/survey-a... --------------------------------------------- ► Listen to the Better Body, Better Life Podcast!
