How to perform?

The Horizontal Row is a back-strengthening exercise that targets multiple muscle groups in the upper and mid back. It is performed by using a bar or dumbbells and pulling them towards the chest while lying face-down on an elevated surface. This exercise helps develop a strong and well-defined back, improves posture and balance, and enhances grip strength. The controlled movement also engages the core muscles, making it a great compound exercise for full-body strength training. By modifying the grip width and angle of the movement, the Horizontal Row can be customized to target specific regions of the back, making it a versatile exercise for all fitness levels.
