RC/PE1+iM

I did 4X6reps for Hinge Rows. Hinge Rows were very easy, but the rear delts were somewhat sore a day after.

I'm going to do another workout or two with my current level before I intend to increase the volume from 4X6reps to 5X9reps.

A few questions:

RC/PE1 - I recorded from different angles. The first video looks good compared to the course video.

However, from a side view(2nd video at 2:25) it looks a bit different and I'm not sure if my hips position is correct in general.

Btw, before starting the set I placed my hips right under the rings. When I straightened the body, my shoulders weren't always under the rings. I just want someone to clarify if it's an important detail or not.

RC/ME1 - I don't really feel a stretch. I tried to squeeze my lats a bit and push my shoulder away(protraction). Only then I felt a little stretch. Am I standing too close to the bar/Should I move further from it?Also, does it matter if the stretch is held with a pronated hand grip or a mid-position grip(when using a pole/vertical bar instead)

Thanks !!

PE Looks good, but you're doing the iM with improper technique. Take a little bit more of distance between your feet and the bar, and also you need to sit back more and let your shoulder relax like if it's been pulled forward.

I see,  thank you Chunchodani, I will update tomorrow! I hope I'll feel the stretch.

I'd love to hear more opinions on Hinge Rows from you guys before my next workout, please 

Nice work!

I have the following minor comments:

- Focus on keeping the butt fixed at a specific point, no vertical movement, makes the exercise feel and look smoother.

- Let the shoulder movement come naturally, from protracted to retracted, and back, during the course of the movement, looks too fiddly now.

I like sit like the athlete in the course video to get properly aligned. Arms should be hanging slightly (ring height) ahead of me when sitting with a straight back (back relative to rings alignment).
