high rowing machine

A plate loaded high row machine is a piece of exercise equipment that is used for performing high rows, a type of exercise that targets the muscles of the upper back, shoulders, and arms. This machine typically consists of a seat, a chest pad, and a handle or grip attachment.

Instead of using a weight stack like traditional weight machines, a plate loaded high row machine requires the user to manually load weight plates onto a bar or lever system. This allows for more customization in terms of the amount of weight being lifted.

To use a plate loaded high row machine, the user typically sits on the seat with their chest against the pad and grasps the handle or grip attachment. They then pull the handle towards their chest, squeezing their shoulder blades together and engaging the muscles of the upper back. The weight plates on the machine provide resistance, making the exercise more challenging and effective for building strength and muscle.

Plate loaded high row machines are often found in gyms and fitness centers, and can be a valuable addition to a strength training routine. They offer a safe and controlled way to target the muscles of the upper back and shoulders, helping to improve posture, increase upper body strength, and enhance overall muscular development.
