T-bar rowing on the machine
Another option is the T-Bar row on the machine. Beginners can dedicate themselves to the T-Bar row with support from the machine. Depending on your preference, you can choose between the underhand or overhand grip.
Body position
The machine for T-Bar rowing makes it easier for you to assume the correct body position. You place your abdominal muscles on the designated pad. Your feet press against the attachment. Ensure that your upper body is straight, and the lower back is in a slight arch. Your hands now grip the handles, and your gaze is directed downward.
Movement execution
During T-Bar rowing on the machine, you can use the underhand grip. Subsequently, pull the handles upward towards your abdominal muscles. While inhaling, allow the weights to descend again. The machine dictates the movement, but your entire body should remain in the starting position. The power comes solely from the arms and back.
You grab the handles in the traditional overhand grip. While exhaling, pull the handles upward, stopping just before your abdomen. Lower the handles again while inhaling. Ensure that you never fully release the weight. The elbows should be slightly bent to protect the joints.
