Major muscles used

  • Latisimus Dorsi
  • Upper back

Performing wide grip seated rowing

  • Sit in front of the seated row machine holding the bar about 25-30 inches apart with palms either facing each other or down (depending on type of bar available).
  • Place your feet on the metal foot rest bar, with you knees slightly bent.
  • Keeping your back straight, extend your arms for a full back stretch.
  • Pull the handles toward your lower chest.
  • Keep your torso upright, and elbows pointing behind you while squeezing your shoulder blades together.
  • Return to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.

Be careful

  • When pulling bar to your chest, your body should remain in an upright position. Don't lean backward.
  • Don't let the weights pull you forward to the starting position. Instead, control the weights and slowly return to starting position while getting a full stretch.
