  1. Start with a reverse grip, palms facing towards you, to target those Lats effectively.
  2. Keep your back straight and hinge at the hips, maintaining a slight bend in your knees.
  3. Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to stabilize your body and prevent swaying.
  4. Pull the barbell towards your lower chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top.
  5. Focus on initiating the movement with your elbows, not your hands, to maximize Lat engagement.
