How to do the Shotgun Row
- 1
Attach a single handle to a low cable.
- 2
After selecting the correct weight, stand a couple feet back with a wide-split stance. Your arm should be extended and your shoulder forward. This will be your starting position.
- 3
Perform the movement by retracting the shoulder and flexing the elbow. As you pull, supinate the wrist, turning the palm upward as you go.
- 4
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
Log it, see it on your body.
