Wide grip row strength equipment

Wide grip row

— an exercise for a group of muscles, which involves pulling the loaded handles "on yourself", in a horizontal direction. In the classic form, the wide grip row is performed while sitting, holding the handles in a vertical or almost vertical position and pulling them either to the stomach or the neck. In the first case, due to this, the trapezius muscles of the back are worked out primarily in their middle and lower parts; also a significant load falls on the biceps, the lower part of the latissimus dorsi and the rhomboid muscle. Pulling to the neck, in turn, gives the main load to the latissimus dorsi, and an additional load to the biceps. Other variants of wide grip row are also possible, with other accents; however, the main muscle groups involved remain virtually unchanged.
