First set I was contracting mostly from my traps versus my upper back and lats. I found this movement to be tougher than it actually looked. It forced me to be patient - feeling the contraction where it’s supposed to hit and work on form. How we work on form with our main movements should be practiced with our accessory movements. Filming helped a lot because it was a small difference (but a huge impact).
