The Cybex Plate Loaded T-Bar Row allows the users to
perform a traditional T-Bar movement but with variable
resistance. Loading plates on the elevated center weight posts
provides both variable resistance as well as reduced
momentum. Dual handgrips are provided and the footplate
surface is angled for stability.
Instructions
1. Load appropriate resistance evenly. The
elevated center post provides a variable
resistance with a take-off load equal to
approximately 45% of the weight loaded. If
additional weight is required, the front
post may also be used.
2. Position feet securely on footplates and
grasp desired handle position.
3. With knees bent and back straight, pick up
the bar and position back slightly above
parallel with the floor.
4. Lift and lower weights with smooth,
controlled movements, maintaining proper
spinal position.
