The Shotgun Row primarily works the lats, with the biceps and middle back supporting the movement. It is a strength movement performed with cable.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Attach a single handle to a low cable.
After selecting the correct weight, stand a couple feet back with a wide-split stance. Your arm should be extended and your shoulder forward. This will be your starting position.
Perform the movement by retracting the shoulder and flexing the elbow. As you pull, supinate the wrist, turning the palm upward as you go.
After a brief pause, return to the starting position.
Technique guidance

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same cable setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Shotgun Row sessions.
Weight, repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 3 sets of 8 reps at 30 kg. Next time, record the actual result, even if it is the same.
Look for more repetitions at the same weight, or a heavier weight for comparable repetitions. Total weight lifted also changes when you add sets, so it is not a strength score.
