Kinesis Row Wide

Video coming soon...

The Kinesis Row Wide workout is designed to primarily engage the upper back muscles.

By utilizing the Kinesis machine, this workout targets the rhomboids, trapezius, and latissimus dorsi.

The Kinesis machine allows for a wide range of motion, promoting proper form and muscle activation.

While the workout may also engage auxiliary muscles, its main focus is on the upper back.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, facing the kinesis machine.
Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Keep your core engaged and your back straight.
Begin by pulling the handles towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
As you pull, focus on using your back muscles to initiate the movement.
Continue pulling until your hands are close to your chest, elbows pointing out to the sides.
Slowly return to the starting position, extending your arms fully.

Focus on your posture: Stand tall with your shoulders back, chest lifted, and core engaged. Imagine a string pulling you up from the top of your head, elongating your spine. This alignment will help activate your upper back muscles and prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back.
Initiate the movement from your shoulder blades: Before pulling the handles, consciously squeeze your shoulder blades together and down. Imagine pinching a pencil between them. This pre-activation will ensure that your upper back muscles are engaged right from the start, maximizing the effectiveness of the exercise.
Maintain a controlled and smooth motion: Avoid jerking or using momentum to move the handles. Instead, focus on a slow and controlled movement, emphasizing the contraction of your upper back muscles throughout the entire range of motion. This deliberate approach will help you build strength and improve your form.
Visualize pulling your elbows back: Rather than thinking about pulling the handles towards you, imagine pulling your elbows back towards your spine. This mental cue will shift the focus to your upper back muscles, encouraging a stronger engagement and better activation of the targeted area.
Don’t forget to breathe: Inhale as you prepare for the movement, and exhale as you squeeze your shoulder blades together and pull the handles towards you. Maintaining a steady breath will help you stay focused, centered
