Exercise: Star Trac Impact Single Arm Rows The single arm row is a compound exercise for the back and arms commonly performed using a dumbbell but in this case I am using the Star Trac Impact machine. The exerciser supports him or herself on the platform and stabilizes resting the supporting elbow on the elbow pad and by holding on to the machine handle as shown in this video Which muscles are used in the single arm row? The single arm row uses the back muscles (latisimus dorsi and trapezius) primarily, while also working out the back of the shoulder (posterior deltoid) and biceps. What are the benefits of the single arm row? The single arm row is an effective exercise for greater isolation of the whole of the back, particularly the lats and traps. This exercise is a great addition to your workout and can combine well with the lat pull down and the seated row for extra targeting of the back. Because the single arm row is excellent for working out the rear shoulder (posterior deltoid) as well as the back (lats and traps) this is a great balancer exercise, to even out all the work done on the chest and front shoulders (anterior deltoid), which tend to be more focused on in gerenal during an average workout. The single arm row is the perfect counter balance to the bench press, working the opposite muscles to create a balanced physique with a strong back and a reduced risk of injury.
