Exercise Description

The seated row machine builds a strong, wide back by pulling weight toward your chest. It targets your lats and helps create that V-shaped back you want.

How To

1. Sit on the seated row machine with your feet flat on the footrests and grab the handle with both hands. 2. Keep your back straight and shoulders pulled back as you prepare for the seated row machine movement. 3. Pull the handle toward your lower chest while squeezing your shoulder blades together. 4. Hold for one second at the top, feeling the tension in your back muscles. 5. Slowly return the handle to the starting position with control.

Form Tips

• Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the entire seated row machine movement. • Pull with your back muscles, not just your arms - imagine squeezing a pencil between your shoulder blades. • Don't lean too far forward or backward during the seated row machine exercise. • Focus on a smooth, controlled movement both pulling and releasing.

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight and letting momentum take over instead of controlled muscle movement during seated row machine. • Hunching shoulders forward or rounding the back, which reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. • Pulling the handle too high toward your neck instead of your lower chest area during the seated row machine.
