Key Teaching Points:
- 1. A thumbless grip can help better feel lat engagement over bicep dominance.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
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:
Shrugging at the top — cue retract and depress scapula before and during the pull. Kipping — require a dead stop at the bottom.
