Pro Tip

**Proper Grip**: Grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing down. A common mistake is gripping the bar too wide or too narrow, which can strain your wrists and limit the effectiveness of the exercise. **Controlled Movement**: When performing the row, pull the bar towards your abdomen, keeping your elbows close to your body. Don't jerk or use momentum to lift the weight, this can lead to injury. Instead, use a controlled, smooth motion. **Breathing Technique**: Breathe in as you lower the bar and breathe out as you lift the bar. Proper breathing
