Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Pulling with the arms instead of rotating through the trunk — turns the move into a one-arm row. Skipping the foot pivot, which limits the rotation range and stresses the lower back. Going too heavy and breaking form — the chop should look athletic and controlled, not rushed. Forgetting to work both sides equally, leaving the trunk imbalanced for rotational sport.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Keskivartalo.
