Deep lat stretch at bottom; rotational top contraction — distinct from DB row.
Progression
Add load; try semi-supinated grip for more lat recruitment.
Regression
Single-arm DB row or cable row if landmine setup unavailable.

Watch for

  • Pulling with biceps only — no scapular retraction
  • Using too much torso rotation — becomes a half-deadlift
  • Standing too upright — changes plane of pull away from horizontal

Substitutions

  • Single-arm DB row
  • Cable row
  • Barbell bent-over row
