Lever Seated Rear Delt Row
The Lever Seated Rear Delt Row primarily works the Posterior Deltoid, with secondary activation of the Brachialis, Brachioradialis, Infraspinatus, Latissimus Dorsi, Rhomboids, Teres Minor, Trapezius (Lower), Trapezius (Middle) and stabilizer support from the Biceps Brachii (Long Head), Lateral Deltoid. It is a machine compound exercise at beginner difficulty.
A machine compound pull exercise targeting the Posterior Deltoid.

Instructions
- Preparation: Place seat at low position. Sit on seat with chest against pad and grasp upper handles. Execution: Pull lever with elbows up out to sides until upper arms are just beyond parallel, keeping upper arm horizontal, perpendicular to torso. Return and repeat. Comments: If upper arm travels closer than perpendicular to trunk,latissimus dorsibecomes involved. Elbows should be kept same height as shoulders. Also see exercise performed onalternative lever row machine. Much lighter resistance is required as compared toLever Seated Row.
