Most lifters are rowing WRONG — and it’s costing them serious gains! Dr. Mike Israetel explains the key difference between bending and hinging when doing bent-over rows — and why hinging is the game-changer for building back strength and muscle. 
The secret? Stop bending over during rows — instead, focus on hinging at the hips. This engages your lats, traps, and rhomboids more effectively, while protecting your lower back from strain. Proper hinging = stronger back + more muscle growth!
Are YOU hinging or bending during rows? Let me know in the comments!

Crap excercise. Inverted rows are better
Stretched position mechanically disadvantageous ? Why are you telling me that deep stretch builds more muscle then?
