Seated Low Row

Seated low row cable machines are great for strengthening the middle back muscles and lats but what if you don’t have a cable machine with a weight stack?

You’re in luck because in this hack I’ll show you how to recreate this machine with your weight rack, a cable pulley system, a sandbag, and a handle.

Seated Low Row Hack Equipment

Here’s what you need:

Weight Rack: Supports the top and lower pulley

Pulley System (High and low pulley): Weight hangs from top pulley, cable goes through bottom pulley allowing a horizontal pull

Sandbag: Used as a footplate to push off especially when going heavy

Weight plates: Add weight plates to loading pin for resistance

Cable attachment: I’m using a Double D handle but you can also use other cable attachments

Setting Up The Seated Low Row

Attach the pulley system: Add a top pulley to your pull up bar and a bottom pulley to one of your uprights. Top pulley cable is connected to a loading pin. Bottom pulley cable is connected to a handle.

Load up: Add weight to the loading pin

Set your “footplate”: Place the short end of a sandbag against one of your uprights.

Go Time: Sit in front of the sandbag with your feet touching the end closest to you. Grab the handle and start rowing!
