• 1. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance if the load is heavy or if you are a beginner.
• 2. When you pull, the elbows bend to form a right angle between the wrist and the shoulder. Your elbows are in the vertical axis of the wrist and in the axis of the shoulder, or slightly backward depending on your level and your feeling.
• 3. Do not pull with your back.
• 4. For your comfort you can contract your lumbar without moving the pelvis.
• 5. Do not break the wrists during the draw.
• 6. Control the movement of the bar intentionally throughout the exercise. Do not get carried away by the weight.
• 7. Do not raise your elbows too high, the maximum is about shoulder height.
