Lever Narrow Grip Seated Row

Category
Back
Target
Upper Back

The narrow grip on this seated row shortens the range slightly and pulls the elbows closer to the body, which tends to bias the lower lats and biceps a bit more than a wide-grip row does. A common finisher after wider-grip pulling work earlier in a back session.

How to Do the Lever Narrow Grip Seated Row

  1. Adjust the seat height and footrests to ensure proper form.
  2. Sit on the machine with your feet flat on the footrests and your knees slightly bent.
  3. Grasp the handles with a narrow grip, palms facing each other.
  4. Keep your back straight and lean slightly forward.
  5. Pull the handles towards your torso, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  6. Pause for a moment at the peak of the movement.
  7. Slowly release the handles and return to the starting position.
  8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
