This month on Trainer Tip Tuesday we will be discussing how to make sure your exercise is both safe and effective while using a row machine. The row machine can be one of the most beneficial pieces of equipment in the gym, but there are a number of ways to make using this machine less than worthwhile. Today, we want to talk to you about how your trunk position can affect your ability to properly execute a seated row on this machine and what you should be considering with your trunk when you do a seated row.
The trunk position is rarely considered when doing a seated row because it is often thought to be an upper body exercise. However, not giving proper attention to your trunk position can lead to this exercise being less effective and potentially dangerous.
We have some considerations we recommend you taking if you are wanting to use a seated row machine, as well as some ways to troubleshoot potential issues that may come up with your trunk when doing this exercise.
Check out all of the details in this week’s episode of Trainer Tip Tuesday, and be sure to tune back in next week as we discuss another aspect to consider when using the seated row machine.
