ROW LIKE A PRO

There are so many variations of rows (bent over, kneeling, 1-arm, underhand grip, neutral grip, etc...) so I tried to make these tips relevant across the board.

In this 25sec video, in addition to proper form, I demonstrated some of the most common mistakes I see:

poor posture (dropped chin/rounded back/shrugging shoulders)
curling weights toward shoulders - that’s a (wonky) bicep curl ;-)
curling wrists at the top
lack of control - whipping the weights back or letting them fall and jolt your body as they lower might feel like you’re “going hard” but it’s not training your muscles as effectively as moving with control… and it’s probably straining them which can lead to unnecessary pain or injury.

Here’s what we want to do:

PULL THOSE ELBOWS BACK TO POINT DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU!
engage core
engage lats
hinge hips
keep neck aligned
move deliberately - you’re moving the weight not the other way around ;-)

Questions about any of the above or about the many variations of rows?! Just ask :)
