#Info – Seated Cable Row
The seated cable row is a great exercise for targeting the back, biceps, and forearms. To maximize benefits, ensure your back stays straight and avoid using momentum by swinging. Focus on pulling with your back muscles rather than your arms. Adjust the weight to maintain proper form throughout the set. Beginners can start with lower resistance and gradually increase as strength improves. For advanced variations, try different grips or incorporate pauses at the peak contraction. Ensure your shoulder blades retract fully to engage the lats effectively. Warm up properly to prevent strain.
