Seated Cable Row

What is this machine?

Alataljasoutu on kuntosalilaite, joka kuormittaa ensisijaisesti Selkälihakset.

The exercise suits a beginner: the range of motion is guided and you can start light.

On a machine the range of motion is guided, which makes it safe to train alone — but the settings must be adjusted to your own body, or the movement will be felt in the wrong place.

⚠️ Most common mistake: Rocking the torso back and forth to use momentum, which trains the low back instead of the upper back. Pulling the handle to the throat instead of the lower chest, which loses the lat engagement. Shrugging the shoulders up at the top, swapping mid-back work for trap dominance. Letting the cable rip the arms forward fast and skipping the slow return portion of every rep.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset.
