Cable Row Grip Widths & Muscles Worked!

When performing cable rows, you engage most of your back muscles, but adjusting your grip width can help you emphasize specific areas. A narrow grip with tucked elbows targets the lower back, focusing on the latissimus dorsi. A medium grip (slightly wider than shoulder width) with elbows flared out at about 45 degrees shifts the emphasis to the middle back, engaging the upper lats, lower to middle traps, infraspinatus, and rhomboids. Using a wide grip with elbows flared out to about 90 degrees targets the upper back, including the upper traps and rear delts.
