How To: Seated Cable Low-Row || PERFECT FORM

[@ScottHermanFitness]

One of my favorite staple exercises on BACK DAY! You guys know I love doing drop sets and as great as barbell bent-over rows are... it's much easier to switch up the weights on the cable machine (especially when I am training with my wife). But as good as this exercise is, it is VERY easy to have improper form.

@@ScottHermanFitness you welcome

[@nandu7750]

As always. Zero nonsense and to the point

[@ScottHermanFitness]

You know that’s how I roll bro!

[@muscleandmath2910]

I just saw your seated low row tutorial from 14 years ago and then this. At the time the advice was to keep your shoulder blades pinched all the time, and now we now that's not the best way. Just shows how we can always be learning more. Beautiful.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

you nailed it! 14 years ago we were also taught to only go to 90 degrees (halfway) on the bench press and squat!

[@AVvalia]

@@ScottHermanFitness Can you delete your old video? This really confused me.

[@Matthe.w]

I think this is the hardest exercise for me not to cheat on. If I cheat, I can lift way more, but if I don‘t it‘s better for growth and injury prevention. And tbh it feels good to do it right. Thanks for your video Scott, I‘ll watch it before my next Pull day!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thats the beauty of adding a DROP-SET! Do some cheat reps for 6 - 8 reps, then drop the weight and go strict for another 8 - 10 reps. This way you get the best of both worlds. HEAVY Eccentrics and then controlled concentric reps!

[@ShermanKyle]

@@ScottHermanFitnesshow do you know a newcomer to the channel? When they hadn’t heard of cheat and recovah before ;)

[@CFC_45]

I've been watching a lot of your old videos. Just watched your old low seated row video from 14 years ago and decided to see if you were still active on YT. So happy to see you're still posting videos, I admire your consistency and how well your body looks 14 years later, much love brother! 🫡

[@sunflower-xj6pe]

It called money and plastic surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️ (I know a general practitioner)

[@limit420]

​@@sunflower-xj6peI know, right? Absolutely no chance the fitness instructor who posted fitness videos 14yrs ago continued with fitness and stayed in shape... Must be plastic surgery. Thankfully we have people like you, who ("know a practitioner") in the comments to show us the truth.

[@c---R]

I've always stayed strict with no forward lean. Thanks for highlighting the WHY behind leaning like that. This is one of my favorite movements so I'm excited to fix my form

[@ScottHermanFitness]

My pleasure my friend! Now you can start incorporating that little lean for more back gains!

[@MrLugar45]

Scientific studies show the deep stretch portion of the movement is even the most hypertrophic. So try to set up all your exercises with a big range of motion and try to pause a second in that part of the movement.

[@jaskaransethy]

@@ScottHermanFitness your older form video for this exercise (10+ years ago) is very strict without any leaning, it's interesting to see how you've evolved

[@ParagKakati15]

KZbin recommend me Scott videos after 13 years 🥹 I remember watching his videos in 2008 or 2009

[@SkippaG]

Same lol. His videos from 10years ago were the first fitness vids i watched

[@GuilhermeGodinho-p4i]

I appreciate the emphasis on form in this video. It really makes a difference in preventing injuries.

I started recently a few months ago and ive been following your low row guide, I wanted to double check im doing it right and there was an updated version!

[@carolbowen4349]

Good to know I’ve been rowing correctly! Such a different feeling stretching those lats out with the forward lean.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Yeah man, that stretch is insane!! Get those gains!

[@johnmartin-o6i]

Great breakdown of the seated cable low-row. Perfect for anyone looking to improve their back workout.

[@TimeFlyingBy1884]

Keep your chest up as you reach forward 2:02 and to work rhomboids and mid back pull bar higher 4:26

[@XavierEstallo-x8v]

I’ve been struggling with my rowing technique, this is super helpful. Thanks for sharing these tips.

[@johncory561]

Smash that like button this man makes fitness easier and simple for anyone to go into the gym to make them gains.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thats the plan! Make it simple and get the gains!

Man your voice goes crazy once you gotta sound out an R

[@kirbster1005]

I'd love a video of the back routine you're doing at the moment Scott :) (I've been watching for years, I love your style & clean to the point videos they've helped me so much!)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I’m hoping to film some more of my workouts when WAGMI settles down! Been grinding hard!

[@bastianlupien6181]

Are you fucking kidding me I’ve been doing this wrong for years. About to turn 23 and I just felt the nicest lat burn - thank you for the future gains!

[@TommyVercetti187]

[@TheArslan725]

I am new to fitness thing, and whenever I need to remind myself of correct form of any exercise during workout in gym, I immediately head to your channel. Always on point with best techniques. Respect from 🇵🇰

[@vamp6767]

How come your videos don't get as much attention as others is something I can't wrap my head around. Just saw one from Jeff Nippard who just gave the same advice you've been giving for years.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

That’s KZbin for you man, always shunning the OG creators

[@LadaHusakLH]

I mean what the hell... Literally went through 50 different KZbin videos about how to properly do this excersise and I every one of them it was different. One says you need to lean forward and back like this one, other that you have to just lean back and do the row that way, another the same, but leaned forward and in the next one you just have to be 90 degrees to the seat... How can a novice like me get any sense of it? HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THIS EXCERSISE CORRECTLY?!

[@theak7364]

Legit i though this also. I used to keep a straight back. Tried thisway out last week to see if stretch on lats helped and i did it super slow aswell 3 secs concentric and eccentric etc and now my lower back hurts lol

[@KingKringles]

​@@theak7364 Damn. This is kinda true. This has so many variations

[@janeldavis905]

Just the explanation I needed. Thank you!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Happy to help!

[@tonydeluna8095]

Hey Scott, Thank you 🙏 for all the tips and tricks for a great workout. Have a great weekend man!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

my pleasure! more coming bro!

[@foxdogs1st]

I've seen everyone give different forms for this exercise. 😅 Some say stay straight no movement. I do them the way you do. I perfer the underhand grip for lats. I think it shortens my arms. I have long arms. In the very beginning of the video it's basically a Jefferson curl. What's your recommendation for rep range on this ? Do you think it can be higher because it's back ?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

I would stick to your general 8 - 12 rep range my friend - you could start at 12 and then reduce the reps as you increase the weight!

[@lzsecured3880]

Great info and presentation. Been missing this stuff!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Thanks man! Slowly getting back into a regular routine of uploads!

[@dudex233]

this is a good lift to go heavy as long as you can control the eccentric. good for both building power and hypertrophy.

[@0hmyl0rdd_]

Ive felt self conscious about this technique thinking I'm moving forward too much, but it's nice to get a confirmation that it is correct 👌 my back gains don't lie

[@SpectreXS]

Couldn't've come in a better time, as this became my main back exercise!

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It's a great exercise for sure!

[@herculesinwyoming]

I don't know what mutated genes i have, but rows make my back grow like crazy. Thanks for the great info.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Everybody probably wishes they had those genes haha!

[@herculesinwyoming]

@@ScottHermanFitness I need the calf genes

[@battlefox8460]

Your videos are always awesome to watch 💪, but man i haven't been to the gym ifor a few years now, i used to enjoy doing the seated rows. Oh , hey Scott by any chance may you please make some videos on kettlebells, like cast iron and competition kettlebell, i bought a 50lb kettlebell from Walmart, nothing fancy, and i noticed some pretty amazing changes, no i do not do any kettlebell swings or any momentum type movements. I have been doing strict unilateral overhead presses, slow and controlled as well as dead clean to overhead press and goblet squats. What i noticed is that my shoulders are popping out nicely, especially my rear delts for some reason,y back has gotten wider snd my quads are looking or starting to look good too. I have been doing the same workout with my dumbbells with the same weight but they never gave me this effect. I thought i would share this with you and see what you think on the subject.

[@ScottHermanFitness]

Appreciate the kind words! I dont have any kettlebells in my home gym, but you can use them a lot like dumbbells for most exercises. Great to use them in circuit workouts!

[@meltdownBC]

This is actually my favourite back exercise

[@poprocks837]

Thanks for the mid-trap and rear delt audible ideas 🔥

[@residentevilumbrella2001]

I like to see a full length follow along workout with timers and rounds. I need to get work on my upper body because that is where the extra weight is.

[@RoshanDesaiphl0923]

[@norseguy89]

I love the mag grip attachment for seated rows.

[@glenspencer6844]

Does this mainly Target the back muscles or does it Target the lats more than anything else, TU

[@TheeStoicc]

Scott do you recommend retracting out scapulas to perhaps keep pressure off our (front) deltoids and maybe help us focus on our traps/rhomboids? I may have a lingering shoulder injury because pulling with my shoulders activated exhausts and hurts my shoulders before my back can feel it

[@raj_1551]

1000th like 😎 Super useful info, straight to the point 🙌

[@willk4862]

That weak grip thing is why I say the forearm is the most unappreciated part of the body. Jacked forearms only looks weird when they're larger than your upper arm, bicep and tricep together. Get two buckets with handles, fill them with water and just walk around until your forearms feel like jello, which shouldn't take long at all because of the water moving and your muscles trying to be stable.

[@jackiesimplejake]

I've seen people perform this exercise while sitting up straight and keeping their back arched. No forward motion and no leaning back, is that wrong?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

yes, which is why I made this video 😁

[@jackiesimplejake]

@@ScottHermanFitness I thought so. It's a personal friend of mine that's a trainer. He's awesome and is very athletic, but no one is perfect and he's not always right. As soon as I switched my form to what you were demonstrating in this video, I immediately felt more engagement in my muscles and overall felt comfortable

[@howsweetishyein]

can help to clarify? my trainer said not to move too much on my body by leading forward. just a slight inch forward is ok and keeping your body upright. is it the same?

[@ilov3.YouBaby]

Hi how are you? Long time no see ❤

[@AksamRafiz]

Is this the same scott from 8 years ago?

[@andregomes3317]

Do people actually need to strap up on this exercise? I have very poor grip strenght and I dont have any issue with this exercise. It's deadlifts and deadlift variants that are impossible to me without straps. Good video, I like this form a lot more than "strict" rows. More back, less biceps.

That's not called a V-bar. It's called a double-D handle. A V-bar is an actual 'V' for triceps. The reason why this is called double-D is because it's basically 2 single D-handles combined. Holla :)

[@ScottHermanFitness]

It’s all interchangeable 😁 this kind of handle has been called a v-bar / v-handle for years, but I know what you mean - there’s also the v-bar for pushdowns!
