Pull your elbows far back as you can use your arms as hooks and chest up boyo always

 

[overwhelmedcel]

The best advice I got for back exercises is imagine your hands are hooks and your hooking the weight instead of pulling it. Sounds crazy but worked for me

Use straps and go heavy

tbh you're gonna feel like that until your grip strength catches up, there's also like straps for that

Could just be that you tend to feel shit more in your forearms. It's not like you can do a pullup with your forearms and not your lats, right? The only reason this would matter is if your grip is actually failing before your lats get a good stimulus.

Anyway, just focus on the bottom part of the lift and make sure you stretch as far as possible at the low part, then cut the top part of the lift a bit short.

Not like any of this matters unless you want to be a competitive bodybuilder. As long as your numbers are going up then your muscles are gonna grow.

What exercises specifically

lat pulldown and seated cable row

 

[SUB3lNCEL]

lat pulldown and seated cable row

Lat Pulldown - Use straps, sit slightly leaned back, hands shoulder width apart or slightly more on bar, wrists stacked above elbows, 45 degrees ish of adduction, think about pulling with your back.
Seated cable row - straps again, don’t do that gay moving forward and backwards shit, sit straight up or slightly leaned forwards, arms at side - again with around 45 degrees of adduction (use a grip that allows for this - if not a double d handle grip with arms at side should suffice), and again focus on pulling with your back - it kinda sounds weird but it works.

Good luck brah.

Check out Ryjewers, TNF, Jeff Nippard and others who include scientific research and studies in their videos and listen to what they say. A lot of people find “optimal” or “scientific lifting” to be gay or weird or not work but personally I’ve seen the most gains with it and it just makes sense.
