Cable Kneeling One Arm Row

Cable Kneeling One Arm Row

Description

The cable kneeling one arm row is performed kneeling on one knee at a low cable station with a single handle. Pulling the handle to the hip with one arm trains each lat individually and corrects strength imbalances. The kneeling position eliminates leg drive and forces strict pulling form.
