The seated row primarily works the muscles in the upper back, including the latissimus dorsi, rhomboids, and trapezius.
The seated cable row primarily works the muscles in the upper back, specifically the latissimus dorsi.
The primary antagonist muscles in a seated row are the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, and biceps brachii. These muscles lengthen as the back muscles contract during the rowing motion.
The "seated row" works the Latissimus Dorsi, Rhomboids, Biceps. Basically, arms and back.

The main difference between a low row and a seated row exercise is the position of the body during the movement. In a low row exercise, the person typically stands and pulls the weight towards their lower chest, engaging the back muscles. In a seated row exercise, the person sits and pulls the weight towards their mid-chest, also targeting the back muscles but with a slightly different range of motion.
The agonists are the muscles that help you to do this exercise. The antagonists are the muscles that bring you back to a regular position instead of being stuck.
Seated rows mainly work your rhomboids and biceps, and a little bit of your latissimus dorsi.
The seated row attachment in a gym workout routine helps strengthen the back muscles, improve posture, and enhance overall upper body strength.
The standing cable row primarily targets the back muscles, including the latissimus dorsi and rhomboids, while also engaging the core for stability. The seated cable row focuses more on the mid-back muscles and allows for a greater range of motion. Both exercises are effective for building back strength, but the seated row may provide more isolation and control over the movement.
A suitable alternative exercise using dumbbells for the seated cable row is the bent-over dumbbell row. This exercise targets similar muscles in the back and arms, and can help improve strength and muscle definition.
Using a low seated row machine for strength training can help improve back and arm muscles, enhance posture, and increase overall strength and muscle definition.
The difference in grip technique when performing the seated cable row exercise is how you hold the handle. You can use an overhand grip, an underhand grip, or a neutral grip, which affects the muscles worked in your back and arms.
