Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Engage the lats by thinking about pulling the shoulder blades toward the back pockets.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Avoid shrugging at the top — the scapulae should stay depressed throughout.

Regression:

Use a resistance band looped under the knees for assistance, or substitute ring rows with feet on the floor.

Progression:

Increase grip difficulty: towel grip, thick bar, or single-arm progression.

Common Problems:

Incomplete range — chin must clear the bar; if not, substitute an easier variation until strength catches up.
