Seal Row

How to do it

  1. Lie face down on a bench elevated high enough that your arms hang freely.
  2. Grip a barbell or dumbbells hanging below.
  3. Row the weight up toward the bench by driving your elbows back.
  4. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the top.
  5. Slowly lower the weight back to full extension.
  6. The prone position eliminates momentum and lower back involvement.
