Hello, are my hinge rows ok? Sorry can't post a perfect front view (not enough space in front of me) or side view (the squat rack covers my elbows)

Hey Marco, if you look closely at the course video you will notice that in the starting position the student is exactly under the rigs attachment, you seem to be not in the same position.
My observations are:
1. Your legs are bent. They should be straight and in line with your hips/upper body at the bottom position to promote full body tension.
2. Your setup against the wall is preventing you from being in the right position. The technical demonstration states that you should start behind the rings so that when you pull through to the top position.
Seems like to fix you will need to pull your rack further out from the wall and it looks to me like your rings are set too low, which might be why your legs are bent.
Would be better if you could show a video though as its difficult to analyse form from pics.

Thank you both Alessandro and Craig.
One think I'm confused about: the technical video says to start *behind* the rings; however Alessandro you state I should start exactly underneath. Could you clarify @Alessandro Mainente?

yOU MUST sit UNDER THE RINGS in this way you need to lean backward with the upper body in order to reach the exercise.
Please, when in doubt follow my suggestion.
