How to do the Kneeling Single-Arm High Pulley Row

Steps

1. Attach a single handle to a high pulley and make your weight selection.
2. Kneel in front of the cable tower, taking the cable with one hand with your arm extended. This will be your starting position.
3. Starting with your palm facing forward, pull the weight down to your torso by flexing the elbow and retract the shoulder blade. As you do so, rotate the wrist so that at the completion of the movement, your palm is now facing you.
4. After a brief pause, return to the starting position.

Tracking it in OneRep

Add the kneeling single-arm high pulley row to a routine and your previous weight and reps sit beside every set, so the decision to add load is made by what is already on the screen rather than by memory. Exercise history and volume trends are one tap away, and logging works offline for the gyms where signal does not reach.

Because OneRep tracks food on the same timeline, a stall on this lift can be read against what you were actually eating that month — which is the difference between a programming problem and an eating one. More on that in tracking progressive overload without a spreadsheet.

Where the instructions come from

The steps above come from free-exercise-db, a public-domain exercise dataset. They are general guidance, not coaching for your body: if a movement hurts, stop and get someone qualified to look at it.
