Tips

Focus on driving your elbows down and slightly back towards your body, as if guiding them into your armpits, to maximize lat engagement. Keep your chest lifted and avoid rounding your upper back to ensure proper shoulder blade movement and prevent strain. Actively depress your ribs to create a stable base and prevent excessive arching in your lower back. Consciously squeeze your lat muscles at the peak of the pull to feel them working and improve muscle activation.
