Sets: 3–5 · Reps: 6–15

Prone elbow pull is a regression of Chest-Supported Row. Use the written card above for its exact setup and execution.

Short range: Short range means the target muscle finishes squeezed in its shortened position.

WHY IT EARNS A SPOT

Own the position,
then earn the load.

The bench fixes the trunk so the lats, rear shoulder, and mid-back must move the upper arms from a long hang into a shortened row.
