Lever Reverse Grip Vertical Row

Setup

1. 01Adjust the seat so the handles sit at mid-chest height.
2. 02Set the chest pad so you can reach the handles with arms fully extended.
3. 03Take an underhand (supinated) grip on the vertical or angled handles.
4. 04Plant both feet and press the chest lightly into the pad.

Execution

1. 01Start with arms long and shoulder blades protracted.
2. 02Pull the handles toward the lower ribs, driving the elbows back close to the torso.
3. 03Squeeze the shoulder blades together at the end of the pull.
4. 04Return under control to a full stretch without letting the stack slam.

Checkpoints
