“Most bad reps aren’t a strength problem. They’re a setup problem the lifter inherited.”

Form, substitution, and the two cues that survive heavy weight.

Torrie writes the form-first half of the Fitness lane from Brooklyn. Former strength coach, now a writer who still coaches a couple of friends. He owns the form, substitution, and finisher guides on this site — the work of figuring out why the lift feels wrong, and the smaller move that fixes it. Most bad rows aren’t a back problem. They’re a setup problem the lifter inherited from the internet.
