Seated Cable Row
The Seated Cable Row is a strength training exercise that targets the muscles in the back, particularly the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius. It is performed using a cable machine, which allows for a smooth and controlled movement. The exercise involves sitting on a bench with feet placed against a footplate, grasping a handle attached to a cable, and pulling it towards the torso while keeping the back straight.
To perform the Seated Cable Row, begin by sitting with your knees slightly bent and your back straight. Pull the handle towards your abdomen while squeezing your shoulder blades together, then slowly return to the starting position. This exercise helps improve posture, enhance upper body strength, and develop overall back muscle definition.
