Common Mistakes

Rounding the Lower Back

Allowing the lower back to round during the row shifts stress to the lumbar spine and reduces lat activation.

Excessive Torso Swing

Using momentum from torso rocking reduces muscle tension and increases injury risk.

Elbows Flaring Out

Pulling with elbows flared wide targets the rear delts instead of the lats.
