Seated Cable Rows

Seated Cable Rows are a pulling exercise that targets the muscles of the back, including the upper, middle, and lower back.

Instructions

• Sit at a rowing machine with your feet securely placed on the platform, knees slightly bent.
• Grab the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other).
• Pull the handles towards your torso, keeping your back straight and squeezing your shoulder blades together.
• Pause for a moment when the handles are close to your body.
• Slowly extend your arms back to the starting position, maintaining control of the weight.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
• Using the lower back to pull instead of the upper back.
• Not fully extending the arms during the return phase.
• Letting the weights stack hit the bottom or top.
