Cable Traps

The Upright Cable Row is a strength movement that targets your traps. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Upright Cable Row

  1. Attach a straight or EZ bar to the low pulley and stand facing the machine, gripping the bar overhand.
  2. Pull the bar up toward your chin, driving your elbows high and wide.
  3. Hold briefly at the top when the bar reaches upper-chest height.
  4. Lower the bar slowly back to the start under full control.
