One Arm High Row Machine

Single-sidedTargets: Lats, Lower trap

About

The one-arm high row machine targets your lats and traps. Pulling with one arm helps strengthen both sides evenly.

How to One Arm High Row Machine

Starting Position

1. Sit on the machine and firmly secure your feet on the footrest.

2. Lean your upper body slightly back, but keep your back straight.

3. Relax your shoulders and start with one hand holding the handle while keeping your arm extended.

Proper Form

1. Bend the elbow of the arm holding the handle and pull it towards your body.

2. Focus on contracting the latissimus dorsi by pulling your shoulder blades together.

3. Pause for a moment, then slowly extend your arm to return the handle to the starting position.

4. Repeat the same method with the opposite arm.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling the handle, and inhale when returning to the starting position.

Precautions

1. Do not excessively arch your back; engage your core to maintain a neutral position.

2. Avoid using weights that are too heavy and choose a weight that allows for proper form.

3. Focus on the contraction of your back muscles rather than just pulling with your arms.
