Form tips
Hold the handles with a neutral grip (palms facing each other). Make sure your grip is firm but not overly tight to avoid unnecessary strain on your wrists and forearms.
When performing the lever seated row, avoid rushing through the movements. Pull the handles towards your torso, squeeze your shoulder blades together at the peak of the movement and then slowly return to the starting position. This slow and controlled motion will help to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
One common mistake is overextending at the end of the movement. When you pull the handles, avoid pulling them past your torso.
