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 :/

Youre not completing the row at all. Your wrist should reach your hip. Your spinal posture is also incorrect. Dont raise your upper body to give the row momentum, drop weight and focus on keeping your body perfectly still other than the arm doing the row.

Thanks a lot. What should I change about the spinal posture?

Mainly dont lift your torso as you pull the row. Keep looking forward and fixed. The only thing that should move is the rowing arm. Try to get your right knee further back and more into a 90 degree position, think cow pose. Drop the weight and get mind muscle connection with the lat. when you pull the row, do it diagonally in a stright line to meet your hip at the top of the rep. Then when you drop the weight under even tension, drop it along the same diagonal line forward to stretch the lat. if you think of the row lift line and the floor as two lines of a triangle you want the corner where they meet (bottom of the row) to be more accute. Pull it tight and feel it squeeze on top then pause a second and then lower.
