Lever T-Bar Reverse Grip Row

Category
Back
Target
Upper Back

Reversing the grip on a T-bar row changes the elbow path and tends to bring more biceps and lower lats into the pull compared to the standard neutral or overhand grip. A useful variation to rotate in once the standard T-bar row grip has been trained for a while.

How to Do the Lever T-Bar Reverse Grip Row

  1. Adjust the seat height and position yourself on the machine with your chest against the pad and your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Keep your back straight and engage your core.
  4. Pull the handles towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  5. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly release and extend your arms back to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
