The new exercise's plan is seeded from the most recent log of that exercise, else the library's authored Defaults line, else a plain 3x10.

# Seated Row
|
||
|
||
The seated horizontal pull — thickness for the mid-back by driving the elbows
|
||
straight back against the chest pad.
|
||
|
||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||
- **Type:** Machine-based horizontal pull
|
||
- **Targets:** Mid-back, latissimus dorsi, rear delts, biceps
|
||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 10
|
||
- **Defaults:** 4 × 10 weighted
|
||
|
||
## Setup
|
||
|
||
Sit with your chest firmly against the pad and feet on the footrest. Grip the
|
||
handles with your arms extended forward toward the anchor.
|
||
|
||
## Execution
|
||
|
||
1. Pull straight back, keeping your elbows close to your body.
|
||
2. Drive the handles to your ribs and retract your shoulder blades hard.
|
||
3. Return to full extension under control without rounding your back.
|
||
|
||
## Cues
|
||
|
||
- Retract the shoulder blades first, then the arms follow.
|
||
- Elbows stay tucked, tracing a line along your sides.
|
||
- Chest stays glued to the pad the whole rep.
|
||
|
||
## Common Mistakes
|
||
|
||
- Rounding the back to reach forward at the extension.
|
||
- Flaring the elbows out wide instead of driving them back.
|
||
- Heaving with the whole torso instead of pulling with the back.
|
||
|
||
## Progression
|
||
|
||
Add weight once all four sets of ten are controlled; vary the grip width to
|
||
shift emphasis between the lats and the mid-back.
