Reverse incline rows for lat focus
Laying on a reverse incline changes the pull angle and takes momentum out of the lift, forcing the lats to do the work instead of the lower back.
By supporting the torso, you eliminate excessive spinal loading and cheating through hip extension. Now you can actually train the lats through a longer range of motion and keep constant tension where it matters.
Pull the elbows down and back—not straight up. Think about driving the upper arm into your back pocket to bias the lats over the traps.
This setup also allows for controlled tempo work, pauses, and higher volume without beating up the spine—making it ideal for both hypertrophy and accessory work in a conjugate system.
Less momentum. More position. More lat.
