Keep your neck aligned with the rest of your spine. Roll shoulders back, down and lock em there.

This, easily the most common overlooked problem in this sub

[u/p0l4r1]

Stretch your lats more

[u/Sea_Leader_7400]

I also think you’d benefit by using an incline bench initially to build back strength with more stability.

You’re doing a great job keeping it controlled, but to target your lats more you’ll need to change the bar path a bit. Let the bar hang down, and pull it up towards your belly button, not your chest. Finishing the rep in that lower position will put more strain and stretch on your lats

Thanks, will do that

[u/aveidti]

The way you jellied down into form really made me laugh, don’t really see much wrong here, straighten your back, strengthen the posture and you’ll do great, work hard!

[u/ausgelassen]

stick your butt out more. imagine little duckling or closing a door with your butt. it helps straighten the spine.

[u/Extreme-Nerve3029]

Has anyone asked him what muscle he's trying to target?

[u/Frodozer → u/Extreme-Nerve3029]

I'd have to assume the back. Since the barbell row hits the back.

Bruh, whats going on with your neck? You head even attached? Brace man!

[u/Gentleman0610 → u/GrilledCheeseObamaMm]

Ah yes... There is a mirror in front and i was looking at it. I have started looking downward now so as to have a more natural neck position

your torso position could be better. a good row starts from an RDL position - a solid hip hinge. to help you can use bumper plates, or the squat pins, so you can rest the weight after each rep.

[u/DamarsLastKanar]

• practice RDLs
• hinge between 90⁰ and 45⁰
• continue to pull with elbows, not straight up

[u/toneeealonzoee]

Stand more upright
