SIGNATURE SERIES ROW REAR DELTOID (FZRW) Muscles Exercised – Latissimus Dorsi, Trapezius, Rhomboids, Teres Major and
Minor, Posterior Deltoids and Biceps
Setup
Adjust the seat height to align the mid-chest with the top of the chest pad.
Keeping feet firmly on the floor, adjust the chest pad position to allow full arm
extension. Check the weight stack to ensure appropriate resistance. Grip the
desired handles and position body with head and chest-up.
NOTE: The upper handles focus primarily on the Posterior Deltoid and upper
back muscles. The lower handles focus primarily on the Latissimus Dorsi and
middle back muscles.
Performing the Exercise
Stabilize the body in position, pressing feet firmly on floor, preventing excessive
pressure on the chest pad. With a controlled motion, draw back the arms as far
as can be controlled. Return the handles to the start position, without letting the
resistance rest on the stack. Repeat the motion, while maintaining proper body
positioning.
TIP: While performing the exercise with any of the handles, think about drawing
the elbows back, beyond the body, as this increases the mental concentration on
the muscles being trained.
TIP: When performing rear deltoid exercise, tip elbows up so they are parallel
with floor
