⚠️ Most common mistake: Pulling with the arms instead of rotating from the core, which kills the oblique engagement. Keeping the feet locked flat, which blocks the hips and forces the lower back to take over the rotation. Rushing the descent and letting the cable yank the handle back instead of controlling the return. Loading too heavy and rounding the lower back at the top, which risks spinal strain.
