Benefits
Kneeling Oblique Crunch With Cable or Freemotion Benefits
The seated cable row is a pulling exercise that targets the back muscles in general, as well as the latissimus dorsi, or "lats," in particular. Because the biceps and triceps are dynamic stabilizers for this exercise, it also strengthens the forearm and upper arm muscles. The hamstrings and gluteus maximus are two other stabilizing muscles that come into play.
