I notice that the right side of the bar always comes up first before the left side. I try pulling more with my left side, and to my surprise, the tilt gets WORSE.
I have absolutely no idea. I suspected it might've been a grip problem, so I gripped the **** out of the bar and I still had the tilt.
It sort of looks like my left elbow is more tucked in then my right elbow while rowing, but I can't tuck my left one out any more.
Help me out guys?

ideally it should come up nice and straight. try lowering the weight and work on your form. my guess is that one side of your body is stronger than the other.
Your life won't change until you change.

It even happens with the bar only! I tried a 35 lb bar and it's still there. The more I pull with the weaker side, the worse the tilt gets.Originally Posted by bris1974

maybe you should concentrate on lifting it equally? idk if you cant do it subconciously, train conciously until it become second nature. never heard of this problem with low weights before thoughOriginally Posted by RainingBlood

I've been working on it for about 2 months. It really irritates me.Originally Posted by lawrence808
Also, on the BB row, do your pull your elbows in or out? How wide of a grip? My grip's with my pinkies on the ring, but maybe I should move it in closer to focus pulling my elbows in...Attract toxic girls but I'm not toxic crew

What you wanna try and do is when you lower the weight focus on pushing it down in a straight line so your arms are equally extended while squeezing the bar hard. Keep squeezing the bar and then focus on pulling both elbows up and lift the weight. Also try and make sure the bar is reasonably close to your body. This may also help.

That is entirely possible. If it's not a physiologic issue, it's a technique issue.Originally Posted by RainingBlood
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.
