Lat stretches at the bottom; elbow drives back and up — not sideways.
Progression
Add load; switch to dead-stop from floor to eliminate momentum.
Regression
Chest-supported DB row removes lower back from the equation entirely.

Watch for

  • Rotating the torso to swing the weight up
  • Pulling to the chest instead of the hip
  • Rounding the support-side shoulder under load
