Step 1

Connect the close-grip attachment to the seated row. Place both hands on the close-grip attachment with a neutral grip (palms facing inwards). Sit on the bench and place your feet on the foot plates. Hold the attachment directly in front of your belly button with arms extended. Pull your shoulder blades down and back slightly to push your chest out. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Exhale. While maintaining a proud chest, bend your elbows to pull the attachment in towards your belly button, ensuring that your elbows remain in close contact with the sides of your body. You should feel a small squeeze between your shoulder blades.

Step 3

Inhale. Extend your elbows to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
