Four Back Exercises for Women: A Cable Workout
Build a balanced upper-body routine with four cable exercises for the back, including pulldowns and rows, with a suggested set and rep structure.
A strong, defined upper body includes a strong back.
Glute and thigh training often gets plenty of attention, but back training deserves a place in your routine too. Developing your back can help you feel confident in an open-back outfit or swimwear while building a more balanced upper body.
Try the following cable exercises as part of your back training:
- Dual-cable lat pulldown.
- Half-kneeling single-arm lat pulldown.
- Overhand cable row.
- Standing bent-over cable row with a V-grip attachment.
The suggested workout uses 5 sets of 12 repetitions for each exercise. Adjust the load and number of sets to your experience and ability to maintain controlled technique.
