⚠️ Most common mistake: Pulling the dumbbells higher than the collarbones, which can cause front-shoulder strain at the top. Using too much weight and swinging the body to throw the dumbbells up, which removes the shoulder work. Letting the elbows drop below the wrists, which turns the pull into a curl instead of a row. Rounding the upper back during the lift, which removes the upper-trap engagement.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders.
