Leverage High Row Machine

A leverage high row machine is a piece of resistance equipment designed to target the upper back muscles, specifically the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius, by simulating a rowing motion.

Key Points

• Ensure proper seat height to align handles with your chest.
• Grab the handles with a firm grip.
• Engage your core and keep your back straight.
• Pull the handles towards your chest by retracting your shoulder blades.
• Slowly return to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight, leading to poor form.
• Not engaging the core, causing excessive lower back arching.
• Allowing the shoulders to round forward during the movement.
• Using momentum instead of controlled muscle contractions.
• Not fully extending the arms at the end of the motion.
