seated row

A multi-joint exercise & concentric exercise, using a low cable with a neutral close grip (row triangle attachment), in seated position.

Considered a middle-back exercise, with the following muscle groups:

  • targeted: lats and traps
  • secondary: deltoids (posterior deltoid) and forearms

Level: intermediate.

Exercise grading: S.

It should be noted that switching to a wide grip row attachment will shift some emphasis to the (mid) traps.
