I’ve been testing the SR06 Linear Row Machine recently to mix into back day at home, and it’s a different feel than your typical barbell row setup. The linear rod system keeps everything moving on a fixed path, which means you can focus more on actually pulling with your back instead of spending half the set stabilizing the weight or worrying about your lower back becoming the limiting factor. 👉Mikolo Fitness Linear Row (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4iw92Sk 👉Mikolo Fitness Main Site: https://mikolo.pxf.io/1GeL4a You still get multiple grip options depending on what you’re trying to hit — go closer and neutral for more lat bias, or wider to bring more upper back into it. The adjustable chest pad also changes the angle enough to shift the emphasis between mid-back thickness and more upper-back work. I’ve mostly been using it to add heavier, more controlled rowing volume into back day at home without turning every working set into a bracing contest. I've heard this also works surprisingly well for standing RDLs if you want to dial in your hinge pattern without chasing a rolling bar around the floor.

About This Video

In this video I’m reviewing Mikolo Fitness’ SR06 Linear Row Machine — a piece of gear I honestly didn’t even know existed until it popped up and I was like, “dude… I gotta try this.” I’ve had it in the garage gym for almost four months and I’ve been rotating it into back day at least once a week (sometimes twice) because I like having a guided, fixed-path row that lets me focus on pulling instead of turning every set into a bracing contest. I also measured the footprint (about 62" long by roughly 47" deep) because space is a premium for most home gyms. I break down the adjustments, grip options, and who this machine actually makes sense for. The multi-grip handle gives you wide, narrow, and neutral-ish options to bias lats or upper back, and the back pad has four height settings — but at 6'0" I have to run it all the way back to keep full range of motion. I also stress-tested it with four 45s per side (eight plates total), hit full ROM, even dropped it onto the springs, and nothing bent or felt sketchy. My biggest cons are the space requirement, the fixed grip angles (some people get wrist/joint irritation), and taller users potentially needing a simple hack (like adding handles or standing on a 2x4) to get more stretch.
