Personal Trainer Tips – Seated Row: Don’t Use this grip!

By  On  · Add Comment · In Strength Training
The Seated Row is a battle-tested back-building exercise that we all know. But…
…depending on the choice of grip handle you use when performing the seated row, it can significantly increase or decrease the safety and effectiveness of this exercise.
Here’s a great video from Dave Parise, owner or Results Plus Personal Training and recent Personal Trainer Hall of Fame inductee, showing you what grip handles may be a poor choice, and which grip type is a smarter choice to use for Seated Rows -

More Personal Trainer Tips on Seated Rows:

- If you can’t find a wider handle, or don’t have access to the PVC handles with straps (as shown in the video above), you can perform single arm seated rows, which also allow you a greater and more comfortable rowing range of motion.
- Using a lat bar to perform wide-grip seated rows is another  safe and effective rowing option we use at Performance U.
