Form tips
When performing the row, ensure that your movements are slow and controlled. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to pull the weight. This can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, focus on using your muscles to control the weight both on the pull and the release.
To get the most out of the exercise, make sure you are using a full range of motion. This means pulling the handles all the way to your torso and then fully extending your arms on the release. A common mistake is to only partially complete the movement, which can limit the effectiveness of the exercise.
