Nemeo’s take

The unilateral machine row guarantees excellent stability, allowing maximum concentration on the contraction of the back, without being limited by the core or the grip as with the dumbbell. Resistance remains optimal across the entire amplitude, particularly in the stretched position. Compared to the free version, we sacrifice a little the recruitment of the stabilizing muscles, but the control and progressive overload are greater. Essential exercise to effectively isolate the latissimus dorsi and rhomboids.
