Grip, Bar Path and Lat Engagement Explained?

Grip width dictates which muscles take over too wide reduces strength.

A firm grip improves neural drive and upper back stability

Bend the bar cue helps engage lats and protect shoulders

Bar path should stay close to the body for maximal efficiency

Drifting bar lost leverage and wasted force

Pulling the bar toward you increases lat tension

Lats stabilize the spine not just move the arms.

Think row the bar to your hips on deadlifts.

Strong lats stronger safer lifts.

Crushing the bar increases overall tension irradiation

Keep the bar over mid-foot for balance and power

Loose setup weak pull no matter how strong you are.
