Upper-body pull

Seated Cable Row

Trains lats first, with real work landing on upper back, biceps, rear delts and more.

These are the weights Heatwayve's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.

Seated cable row with pause; tempo builds mid-back and lats with constant tension and scapular control.

Slight lean back; pull to lower chest or abdomen, squeeze shoulder blades.

How Heatwayve progresses it

Progresses by load: +1.25kg increments, earned session by session from your rep quality.

Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.

Knowing the numbers is one thing; hitting them for fifty weeks is another. Open Heatwayve — it prescribes the weight, holds you to the tempo, and runs this arithmetic on every set you log so the week actually adds up.
