How to do the Seated Row Machine Rows

  1. Sit at the cable/machine with your feet on the footrests and knees slightly bent, holding the handle.
  2. Sit tall with your chest up and back straight.
  3. Pull the handle toward your lower abdomen, driving your elbows back and squeezing your shoulder blades.
  4. Slowly return to the start with arms extended and repeat.

Form tips

  • Keep your back flat throughout — avoid rounding your spine.
  • Drive your elbows back rather than just pulling with your arms.
  • Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement.
