The Lever Seated Row exercise is a strength training exercise that primarily targets the muscles in the upper back, shoulders, and arms. It is usually performed using a lever machine, which has a padded seat and a lever attached to a weight stack.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for performing the Lever Seated Row exercise:1. Sit on the seat of the lever machine with your feet flat on the floor and your knees slightly bent.
2. Reach forward and grasp the handles of the lever with an overhand grip, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your back straight and core engaged as you pull the handles towards your chest by squeezing your shoulder blades together.
4. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then slowly release the handles back to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
6. Remember to keep a controlled pace throughout the movement, avoiding jerky or swinging motions.
7. Adjust the weight on the machine as needed to ensure that the exercise is challenging but manageable.
8. To target different muscles, you can also vary your grip width or hand position on the handles.
9. Make sure to exhale as you pull the handles towards your chest and inhale as you release them back to the starting position.
10. Finish the set and then carefully return the handles to the starting position before exiting the machine.
Equipment required
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded)
Leverage Machine (Plate Loaded) equipment is used for strength training exercises. It consists of a weight-loaded lever system attached to a seat or bench to provide resistance. These machines are designed to target specific muscle groups and allow for controlled and isolated movements to build muscle strength and mass. They are commonly used for exercises such as chest presses, squats, rows, and shoulder presses.
