A horizontal row works primarily the back muscles, including the latissimus dorsi (or lats), trapezius, rhomboids, and posterior deltoids. It also works the biceps, forearms, and core muscles.
Common mistakes to avoid when doing a horizontal row include: 1. Not keeping your back straight and chest up. 2. Not engaging your core muscles. 3. Rounding your shoulders or arching your back. 4. Not using a full range of motion. 5. Not keeping your elbows close to your body. 6. Not using a controlled tempo. 7. Not keeping your head and neck in line with your spine.

For a horizontal row, you will need a rowing machine or a boat and oars. You may also need a weight bench or other support equipment, depending on your goals and the type of exercise you are doing.
