Seal Rows For Upper Back and Lat Development


Finally, you can perform Seal Rows without having to stack a wobbly bench on-top of a pile of plates. Our Seal Row is getting a ton of attention and for good reason. When looking to perform the best free weight movements to develop the upper back, lats, and rear delts typically we hit bent over rows or your standard dumbbell row. While both are amazing for back gains they don’t compare to the Seal Row. The Seal Row gets its funny name from the fact that your legs will begin to flap up and down behind you like a seal when rowing heavy weights.

Benefits of our Legend Seal Rows: - Prevents Momentum and Cheating: It’s almost impossible to cheat on a seal row, making it an extremely difficult exercise when compared to bent over rows which are often performed with a great deal of momentum. This enhances tension in the rhomboids, lats, and posterior delts giving you insane contractions which in turn lead to one hell of a sweet looking back. - Allows for Back Workouts in Spite of Lower Back Issues: Lumbar issues? The Seal Row is a great exercise to perform if you’re looking to stimulate your back without irritating an existing back injury. - Neutral Spine: Being that our Seal Row has a custom breathing hole for your face to comfortably rest in, you can maintain a perfect spinal alignment while maximizing your breathing. - You Can Perform Seal Rows with A Barbell, Cambered Bar, or Dumbbells: We are currently ordering a Cambered bar (As pictures in the lower left hand of the photo above) which will allow further range of motion than a barbell. Lie face down and try seal rows with 2 dumbbells for 100% range of motion. - You Can Do Multiple Exercises from the Seal Bench: Not only can you destroy your upper back and lats but you can perform reverse hyperextensions, dumbbell kickbacks, and rear delt flies from a completely new angle for additional muscle fiber breakdown.
