A seated cable row that trains the lats, mid-back, and biceps through a clean horizontal pull — the benchmark row in any gym.

Sit on the machine and brace your feet against the platform with your knees slightly bent.
Grip the handle, hinge slightly forward, and let the cable pull your arms fully extended.
Sit tall with a flat back and pull your shoulder blades down and back to set the start position.
Pull the handle to your lower chest or upper stomach by driving the elbows back behind the body.
Squeeze the mid-back hard at the top of the pull, pausing for a full beat before reversing.
Let the handle travel slowly back forward over 2 to 3 seconds, fighting the cable the whole way.

Rocking the torso back and forth to use momentum, which trains the low back instead of the upper back.
Pulling the handle to the throat instead of the lower chest, which loses the lat engagement.
Shrugging the shoulders up at the top, swapping mid-back work for trap dominance.
Letting the cable rip the arms forward fast and skipping the slow return portion of every rep.
