Lever High Row plate loaded

Muscles involved

Gain absolute confidence in your back training when you strap into the lever high row plate loaded machine. Thanks to the stability provided by this lever machine, you can eliminate unwanted momentum and focus entirely on driving the handles back with your back muscles. A quality set feels unmistakable: you will experience an intense contraction across your entire back at the peak of the row, followed by a controlled stretch on the way back out. Mastering your form here lets you safely push heavier resistance while feeling every single muscle fiber in your back working to pull the leverage handles smoothly.

How to do it

1. Sit on the bench of the high row machine with your chest against the pad. 2. Grip the handles with your palms facing forward and arms extended. 3. Exhale and pull the levers towards your chest, bending your elbows and contracting your lats. 4. Inhale and return in a controlled manner to the starting position.
