체크포인트

• -Elbow angle stays fixed; the shoulder does all the work.
• -Torso angle stays constant instead of bowing up and down.
• -Shoulders stay away from the ears at the top.
• -You feel the stretch and contraction in the lats, not the triceps.

흔한 실수

• -Bending the elbows and turning it into a pushdown.
• -Crunching the torso forward to move heavier weight.
• -Stopping short of the overhead stretch position.
• -Loading so heavy the arc becomes a jerky pull.
