The A row is a shoulder and upper back exercise that focuses on scapular control and postural strength. By drawing the arms back into an “A” position, it activates the lower trapezius and rhomboids, which are key for maintaining good posture and shoulder stability. This exercise is commonly used in rehabilitation to reduce shoulder dysfunction and improve upper body mechanics.
