Cross body Cable Rows
How to Do Cross body Cable Rows
- Adjust a cable pulley system with the handle resting at about shin level
- Stand next to the cable and pivot at the hips to bend over at about a 45-degree angle
- Reach across your body with the hand that’s farthest from the cable and take a firm grip of the handle
- Bring the handle across your body without rotating your torso, using mostly your lat muscle
- After tensing at the peak, allow the cable to pull its way, in a controlled way, back to the starting position
