Single-sidedTargets: Lats, Lower trap

About

The one-arm row machine targets your lats and rhomboids. Working one arm at a time helps balance your strength and boosts core stability.

How to One Arm Low Row Machine

Starting Position

1. Sit on the row machine and securely place your feet on the footrest.

2. Grab the handle with one hand, keep your back straight, and slightly lean your chest forward.

3. Lightly place the opposite hand on your waist or knee to maintain balance.

Proper Form

1. Pull the handle towards your body with the arm holding the handle.

2. Keep your elbow facing back along the side of your torso, but do not overextend it behind your body.

3. Keep your waist and shoulders stable and focus on the feeling of your back muscles tightening.

4. Slowly return the handle to the starting position while maintaining tension.

Breathing Technique

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

Precautions

1. Do not set the weight too high and control your movements without any rebound.

2. Keep your upper body stable so that your waist and shoulders do not move.

3. Do not move quickly like a bounce; perform the exercise slowly while feeling the contraction and relaxation.
