Seal Row

How to

Barbell
  1. 1 Lie chest-down on a raised bench, bar hanging below.
  2. 2 Row the bar up to the bench, elbows back.
  3. 3 Lower to straight arms without lifting the chest.

Tips

  • The bench must be high enough that the bar hangs without touching the floor.
  • With the chest on the bench momentum cannot help, so use less than for a barbell row.
  • Dumbbells work on the same bench.

Common mistakes

  • Lifting the chest off the bench to finish the rep.
  • Short reps that never straighten the arms.
  • Craning the neck up.
