I look at exercises a little differently. Does the exercise mimic real world activity, like rowing a boat for example? In that example the back is heavily involved hinging at the hip not just contracting the lats. In trying to describe this I run into a semantic problem: although the lats attach at the back they are functionally an arm muscle, they close the arm angle in relation to the body. Back muscles are the long muscles that parallel the spine that work to extend the back. Bending at the hip while doing cable rows makes this a compound joint exercise as most real world activities are. Enough said, the choice is yours. My credentials: I have a body and I use it.
a trainer at my gym told me to keep my back rounded for the entire exercise (so he wants me to be leaning forward like a shrimp), is that incorrect? your form seems more comfortable for the spine ngl
Like he says in the video you want your back muscles/abs to be active as much as possible while limiting spine movement. Once you start going up in weight, slouching forward will be increasing risk of injury to your spine.
@@jordiwa8051 You only increase the risk of injury to your spine, by never training it properly. The spine is not glass. It's meant to be moved. The problem only starts, when someone, who only trained with a straight back, suddenly starts to bend the spine under immense load, when it's not used to it.
@@The_Patbey I can understand that full ROM would be important like with other muscles. For this exercise I just think it's counterintuitive since you're taking some of the strain off the back muscles. Forgive me lord I'm not hitting spine day.
@@jordiwa8051 Have you ever done rows with a moving spine? Youre not taking strain off the back muscles, you even get to stretch them more, which is better for hypertrophy. And, additionally, you get some sweet erector spinae growth, which will get you an even bigger/wider back.

I’d find a new trainer before he wrecks your lumbar spine.
