All Things Chin Up

Rows are tricky to get the MMC on because most people are taught to pull the weight straight up to their rib cage. Really you need to try to put the DB or machine handle in your hip pocket to really get a good lat contraction. It also helps to keep constant tension by doing a pretty slow negative on every rep, and not straightening your elbows all the way.

@ChickenLittle, your comment about Lats made me think of this. I like to train BentOver BB rows with Versa Gripps, and like SN mentioned, aim for my back pocket instead of rowing upward toward my rib cage or belly button. That little adjustment makes ALL the difference in activating Lats.
