When it comes to the seated cable row, many believe locking the torso is the “right” way, and moving it is the “wrong” way. But in reality, both are effective - each with a different purpose.
👉 Locked torso: More focus is on the lats, which are clean and controlled. Other muscles help stabilize, but the range of motion is smaller.
👉 Moving torso: Adds a controlled lean for a deeper stretch and stronger lat engagement through the pull, with backup from the glutes and spinal extensors.
It’s not about right or wrong, it’s about choosing the style that best fits your training goal.
💬 So, which variation do you prefer, locked or moving? 👇 Tell us in the comments! ✨
