The classic strength exercise for a strong back

The row pull is one of the most effective exercises for a strong back. It mainly trains the back muscles, including the latissimus and rhomboids, as well as the shoulders and arms. The rowing train is versatile and adaptable and is ideal for improving posture.

Rowing train on the EISENHORN

With a weight range of 4-112kg and its space-saving design, the EISENHORN is ideal for all types of rowing exercises.

Thanks to additional components such as the pulley and grip straps, it enables comprehensive and versatile back training that can be optimally adapted to individual needs. Some examples of rowing pull alternatives from our exercise database are listed here:

The right design

There are different versions of this exercise. For the classic standing rowing pull, start upright and stand in front of the EISENHORN. Then grasp the pulley or both ends of the grip strap at chest height and slowly pull the weight towards your chest. The elbows remain close to the body, the shoulders are pulled back and the stomach and torso are tense. The power comes primarily from the back. The weight is then moved slowly and in a controlled manner back to the starting position.

Alternatively, the exercise can also be performed in a seated position. The weight should be set according to the individual training condition and fitness level.

Exercised muscle groups

The row pull exercise engages various target muscles. Especially the upper and lower back muscles. Depending on the training variant, the shoulders, arms and torso are also more involved.

When rowing on the pulley with a narrow grip, the focus is on the broad latissimus back muscle (latissimus dorsi muscle). In contrast, the wide grip when rowing on the pulley helps to train the rear shoulders (deltoideus pars spinalis muscle). The trapezius muscle (Musculus trapezius), the large and small rhomboid muscles (Musculus rhomboideus major et minor) as well as the biceps (Musculus biceps brachii) and the brachialis muscle (Musculus brachialis) are used for support. If you pull the weight from above, the trapezius is trained more, while pulling from below upwards focuses on the latissimus.

Advantages of rowing trainings

The rowing train offers an efficient full-body workout that particularly strengthens the back muscles. The different grip variations can also be used to train other, different muscle groups such as the shoulders, arms and torso. This not only improves muscle strength and endurance, but also promotes posture and stability. The rowing train is also easy on the joints and ideal for effectively strengthening the muscles for various sports.

Increase the level of difficulty

The level of difficulty of rowing trainings can be increased using various methods. This includes increasing the weight, adjusting the number of repetitions or using different grip variations. In addition, the speed of movement can be varied or the exercise can be performed on one side to increase the intensity. These adaptations not only develop muscle strength, but also improve coordination skills and endurance.

Conclusion on the rudder pull

The row pull is one of the most effective exercises for a strong back and trains a variety of muscle groups such as the latissimus, rhomboids, shoulders and arms. Different grip variations and design options enable comprehensive and individualized back training that improves posture and strengthens muscle strength and endurance. The rowing train is also particularly suitable for building up muscles for various sports. The intensity can be increased individually using different methods such as increasing the weight and varying the speed of movement.
