In this video I show you how I do my seal rows on a bench with dumbbells.
The reason I do seal rows on a low bench is the safety it provides for heavy training while avoiding overstretching my shoulders.
I have torn both shoulders in the past so I avoid the stretched out position where I know I'm likely to repeat straining!
I use various loads for various range of motions. My upper back muscles can handle the heaviest weight for reps with a short range of motion, and then the greater range of motion with higher elbows in the peak position recruit more of my lats and teres major, the "outside" or lateral muscles of the back.
I do both neutral grip and prone grip seal rows in this video, and I do reverse grip or supinated grip too sometimes.
My current Seal row back program I'm doing is set up like this:

Day 1:
Seal row with prone grip 3 x 10-12 reps

Seal rows with prone grip 3 x 30 seconds duration with as heavy load as I can.
