Maniak Fitness Plate-Loaded Seated Row

Stable and powerful horizontal pulling to build back thickness with maximum precision.

The Maniak Fitness Plate-Loaded Seated Row is designed to develop the mid-back musculature through a guided, natural and biomechanically efficient horizontal movement. It allows progressive loading with total stability, making it a key tool in any pulling program.

Its robust structure and adjustable chest support ensure technical control even under heavy loads, reducing lower back stress while maximizing lat activation.

Applications & Performance

The plate-loaded seated row is essential for building mid-back thickness, improving scapular retraction and complementing vertical pulling movements such as lat pulldowns or pull-ups.

• Bilateral horizontal rowing

• Alternating unilateral rowing

• Close grip for greater lat emphasis

• Medium grip to target rhomboids and trapezius

• Heavy sets or slow tempo work for hypertrophy

Ideal for:

• Mid-back development

• Horizontal pulling training

• Complementing lat pulldowns and pull-ups

• Improving scapular stability

• Strength, aesthetic and performance programs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from a cable row machine?
It uses free plate loading, allowing greater strength progression while eliminating pulley and cable wear.

Which muscles are targeted?
Primarily the lats, rhomboids and trapezius, with secondary activation of the rear deltoids and biceps.

Can it be used unilaterally?
Yes. The design allows each side to be trained independently.

Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. The chest support and guided path ensure safe and controlled execution.

What maintenance is required?
Minimal. Regular upholstery cleaning and periodic bolt inspection. The absence of cables reduces wear points.

More Thickness, More Stability, More Performance

If you are looking for a professional plate-loaded seated row that is robust and built for intensive use, this machine is the perfect foundation to strengthen your mid-back.
