When performing the seated row, is it correct form to lean the torso all the way forward during the eccentric portion, or does the torso remain fully erect during both the contraction and extension phase? [/quote]
Some movement is ok. The goal is NOT to lean all of the way forward and then all of the way back. I hate even writing down how to do it because it needs to be seen. The first movement in the chain should be pulling your shoulders back, squeezing your back muscles, then following through with your biceps and you pull the weight inward.
Leaning forward a little when using heavier weight is fine on the negative portion of the movement but most people don’t even seem to be working their backs at all. When you are done with rows, you should feel it in your back…not simply have fatigued biceps.
