Instructions

Lever Reverse Grip High Row

Starting Position

  1. Adjust the Machine: Set the seat height so that when you sit, the handles are at about chest level. Adjust the weight according to your fitness level.

  2. Sit Down: Position yourself on the machine with your back straight and feet flat on the ground.

  3. Grip the Handles: Grab the handles using a reverse grip (palms facing you). Your hands should be approximately shoulder-width apart.

Movement Instructions

  1. Engage Your Core: Keep your core tight and maintain a straight posture throughout the exercise.

  2. Begin the Row: Pull the handles towards your body, focusing on driving your elbows back. Keep your elbows close to your sides as you pull.

  3. Squeeze at the Top: When the handles are near your chest, squeeze your shoulder blades together and hold for a moment.

  4. Return to Starting Position: Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout. Do not let the weights rest completely before starting the next repetition.

Tips

  • Breathe out as you pull the handles towards you, and breathe in as you return to the starting position.

  • Avoid using momentum; focus on a smooth and controlled motion.

  • Adjust the weight as needed to ensure you can complete your sets with good form.

Repetitions

  • Aim for 8-12 repetitions for 3 sets, resting 1-2 minutes between sets.
