Seated Row

About

The Seated Row is a strength training exercise designed to target and strengthen the muscles of the back and upper arms. It is typically performed using a seated row machine or a seated cable row machine, where the individual sits with their feet securely positioned on foot plates and pulls a handle or cable towards their body. This movement engages several key muscle groups, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and biceps. By strengthening these muscles, the Seated Row helps improve posture by pulling the shoulders back and reducing the risk of injury. The exercise is beneficial for enhancing overall upper body strength and is particularly effective for athletes involved in sports that require powerful pulling movements. Proper form is crucial to avoid injury and ensure maximum muscle engagement. This includes maintaining a straight back, keeping elbows close to the body, and moving slowly through the range of motion. The Seated Row can be modified with different grip variations and weights to suit individual fitness levels and goals. By incorporating this exercise into a workout routine, individuals can improve their back strength, enhance their posture, and reduce the risk of back and shoulder injuries.
