Form tips
Avoid jerking or using momentum to pull the weight. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Instead, pull the weight towards you in a slow, controlled motion, and release it back to the starting position in the same manner.
To get the most out of the exercise, ensure you're using the full range of motion. This means fully extending your arms in the start position and pulling the V bar all the way to your abdomen. Stopping short can limit the benefits of the exercise.
The seated row primarily targets your back muscles, so make sure you're engaging them correctly.
