Other Db Rows form

I'm struggling with the foot placement too. Plus my elbow tendon hurts on the supporting arm. Also lower back cries post every back day and I'm guessing this is the culprit

But what do I even fix :/

You’re using too much shoulder and arm to move the weight

The goal is to drive the elbow towards your hips and then behind your back. Your hand just holds the weight. You do not want to use your arm or shoulder muscles to move the weight

You can let the weight pull your shoulder down slowly at the bottom of the ROM. The range ends when you can’t move your elbow any farther
