Seated Horizontal Pulley Machine

The seated row is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in your upper back. You should be sitting straight upright with your shoulders back. This is the starting position. Keeping your body in position, pull the handle into your stomach. Pull your shoulder blades back, squeeze, pause, and then slowly lower the weight back to the starting position.The seated row is one of the best strength exercises you can do. Why? Because during many everyday activities—sitting, driving, eating—gravity is pulling our upper back and shoulders forward. The resulting hunched position closes off our breathing, reduces circulation, causes back pain, and leads to poor posture.
