Form tips
Make sure you maintain the correct posture throughout the exercise. Your back should be straight, chest out, and shoulders back. Avoid rounding your back or hunching your shoulders, as this can lead to injury and less effective workout.
One common mistake people make is using momentum to pull the lever down, rather than their muscles. Ensure you're pulling the lever down slowly and in a controlled manner, then releasing it back up just as slowly. This technique will help you get the most out of the exercise by keeping your muscles under tension for longer.
Do not pull the bar down too far. The bar should be pulled down to just below your chin. Pulling it down too far
