Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Scapulae retracted and depressed before the pull begins.
- 2. Take a full breath, brace the core 360 degrees, before initiating each rep.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Use a bodyweight hip hinge against the wall — stand a foot away, push hips back until they touch, then return — to learn the pattern without load.
Progression:
Add a band around the hips for accommodating resistance at the top where the lever arm decreases.
Common Problems:
Hyperextending at the top — cue rib cage down and glute squeeze rather than a backward lean.
