I am Kirt Watt on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip we will be doing the seated row. Many types of seated row machines around, this particular one is my favorite, it does have two adjustments, has a chest adjustment right here, has a seat adjustment down here. You are going to need to make sure that it is fitting your height, for your size. It does vary so make sure you get it setup, have somebody help you if you do not know, simple way to judge that is making sure that the chest plate is just about sternum height so you know in that realm where the seat should sit. Make sure you are not too close to the bars, but you got to be able to reach them, if you cannot reach them it does not make sense, so just make sure you can get over and get a handle on the bar. As soon as you get hold of the bars, arch up nice and big, keep your spine flexed real well, keep your chest up, shoulders down, pull the weights back, nice and slow, get a nice big tight pull on the back and release. Always remember you take inhale as you pull back and exhale, okay. Here we go, just like that nice squeeze and return, nice squeeze and return and as always do not try to put a whole lot of weight on this. The exercise is a lot better if you take your time using moderate weight, go nice and slow until you figured it out. Once you feel a little more comfortable you can add some more weight, but it is not necessary, just take your time and that is the seated row.
