Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds the lats and mid back, with the biceps assisting. A strong horizontal pull improves posture and supports other pulling lifts.
You should feel it in your lats and between your shoulder blades. It should not be felt mostly in your lower back or only in your arms.
A common mistake is using momentum and rounding your back. Keep your torso steady, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and lower with control.
