Seated Row

About

The Seated Row is a compound exercise that effectively targets multiple muscle groups in the back and arms. It is performed by pulling a weighted handle towards the body while seated, engaging muscles such as the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and biceps. This exercise is beneficial for building a strong and well-defined back, enhancing posture, and reducing the risk of injury. The seated position provides excellent lower back support, making it a safe choice for those with lower back concerns. To perform the Seated Row, sit upright with your feet planted and knees slightly bent. Hold the handle with a neutral grip, keeping your back straight and shoulders back. Pull the handle towards your stomach, squeezing your shoulder blades together, then slowly return to the starting position. Proper form is crucial to avoid injury and ensure effective muscle engagement. Variations include using different grip styles or equipment like resistance bands to tailor the exercise to individual needs and goals.
