5. FAQ on the seated rows exercise
The seated row exercise targets the muscles of the back, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, trapezius, and erector spinae. It also works the biceps and forearms.
To do seated rows, you will need a rowing machine or a cable machine with a bar attachment. You may also need an adjustable weight bench and weights, depending on the type of exercise you are doing.
It depends on your fitness goals and current fitness level. Generally, if you are just starting out, you should aim to do seated rows 2-3 times a week. As you progress, you can increase the frequency to 3-4 times a week.
The best form for seated rows is to keep your back straight, your feet flat on the floor, and your arms extended in front of you. Pull the weight towards your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body and your wrists straight. Lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat.
