High rows are an exercise to train the back muscles. The overhand grip variation mainly works the trapezius muscle and the back shoulder, but also the latissimus. This variation is performed on the machine.

Tutorial
1
Adjust the seat height of the machine so that it fits your height and sit on the seat.
2
Press your chest against the chest pad and grasp the handles in front of you with both hands in an overhand grip (palms facing down at an angle). Your arms are stretched out and your shoulders should be pulled slightly forward. Your back muscles should be slightly stretched.
3
Powerfully pull the handles backwards/downwards at an angle until your elbows are at the side of your body. Upper arms are spread approx. 45° from the upper body. Hold this position briefly. Exhale as you do so
4
Move the handles slowly and in a controlled manner diagonally forwards/upwards until your arms are fully stretched and in the starting position. Your back muscles should be slightly stretched. Breathe in as you do this.
5
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Use the full range of motion! When the handles are in the top position, your shoulders should be pulled slightly upwards/forwards. If they are in the lowest position, you should pull your shoulders back and "crack nuts". Your elbows are spread out from your body in this position. Make sure that you do not have a hollow back or hunched back during the exercise.
If you lack the necessary grip strength, feel free to use pulling aids!
