The M-Torture Low Row is a machine primarily focused on strengthening the back muscles during the pull-up movement. It is used primarily to engage the latissimus dorsi, mid and upper back, interscapular muscles, and the back of the shoulders. When performed correctly, the movement also engages the biceps and forearm muscles, which help pull the handles towards the body.
Konkrétny model M-Torture Low Row je konštruovaný ako platňami zaťažovaný stroj. Jeho pohyb vychádza z príťahov podobných jednoručnému veslovaniu s jednoručkou aj príťahom s veľkou činkou. To umožňuje zaradiť ho do tréningu chrbta ako alternatívu k voľným váham, najmä keď je cieľom sústrediť sa na kontrolovaný ťah a prácu chrbtových svalov.

Výhodou stroja je možnosť meniť charakter zaťaženia podľa nastavenia trupu a smeru príťahu. Zmena sklonu tela môže presunúť dôraz medzi rôzne časti chrbta, preto je možné prispôsobiť prevedenie konkrétnemu tréningovému zámeru. Samostatné rukoväti zároveň uľahčujú sústredenie na dráhu pohybu a prácu jednotlivých strán tela. ([fitequiphk.com](https://www.fitequiphk.com/products/low-row-%28r%29-?utm_source=openai))
The M-Torture Low Row also uses a rotating mechanism in the moving part. This supports a more natural movement of the hands during the pull-up and allows for a smooth guidance of the handles. When exercising, it is important to maintain a stable body position, initiate the movement with the shoulder blades and then guide the elbows back without jerking. The handles do not need to be pulled higher than a comfortable and controlled range allows when completing the pull-up.
The machine is suitable for developing both strength and volume of the back muscles, while the resistance can be adjusted to the discs used and the number of repetitions. Thanks to the stable path of movement, it is easier to focus on technique than with some variants of pull-ups with free weight. It is suitable for training after pull-ups or upper pulley pull-downs, or as the main horizontal pull in back training.

- A movement similar to both a one-arm and a dumbbell pull-up
- Separate handles for better concentration on the pull
- Possibility to change emphasis according to torso inclination
- Rotation mechanism for smoother hand movement
- Suitable for strength and volume training of the back
