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 row pulley is highly adaptable and ideal for improving posture.
Rudder pull on EISENHORN
With a weight range of 4-112 kg and its space-saving design, the EISENHORN is ideal for all types of rowing exercises.
Thanks to additional components such as the Cable Pulley and the grip bands, it enables comprehensive and versatile back training that can be optimally adapted to individual needs. Some examples of rowing train alternatives from our exercise database are listed here:
There are different variations of this exercise. In the classic standing row pull, you start upright and stand in front of the EISENHORN. Then grasp the Cable Pulley or both ends of the grip tape 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 abdomen and torso are tensed. The strength 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 your individual training condition and fitness level.
The row pull exercise works various target muscles. In particular the upper and lower back muscles. Depending on the training variant, the shoulders, arms and core are also more involved.
When rowing at Cable Pulley with a narrow grip, the focus is on the broad latissimus back muscle (latissimus dorsi muscle). In contrast, the wide grip when rowing at Cable Pulley helps to train the rear shoulders (deltoideus pars spinalis muscle). The trapezius muscle (trapezius muscle), the large and small rhomboid muscles (rhomboideus major and minor muscles) as well as the biceps (biceps brachii muscle) and the brachialis muscle (brachialis muscle) are used for support. If the weight is pulled from above, the trapezius is trained more, whereas when pulling from below upwards, the training focus is on the latissimus.
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.
The level of difficulty of row pull training can be increased using various methods. These include 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 adjustments not only develop muscle strength, but also improve coordination skills and endurance.
The row pull is one of the most effective exercises for a strong back and trains various muscle groups such as the latissimus, rhomboids, shoulders and arms. Different grip variations and execution 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.
