I keep reading about different routines that folks do and an exercise I keep seeing mentioned for women to do is "seated rows"... this is somehow done with free weights? Can you describe how? I do standing upright rows. Is this somehow the same? Inquiring mind here wants to know.

    Seated rows are typically done on a cable machine or with a resistance band. I can't for the life of me picture how to do it with free weights without looking like a complete spazzo! Haha

    Neither could I, but it kept coming up in reference to the New Rules of Lifting for Women routines & I thought that was all about free weight lifting... so imagine my consternation trying to picture it. LOL
