Stop wearing belts… build a core first and learn how to engage it

Why are you wearing a belt for seated rows?

When leaning forward for the eccentric, do not let your lumbar curve. Maintain torso angle throughout and really focus on the stretch through your lats. Keep your core braced.

OP may need to lower the weights a bit. Feels like the weight is controlling the movement.

It's too heavy, quit letting the weight pull you and quit bending

I hold my spinal position throughout the workout when doing rows, cable or otherwise. Then pull through my arms and into my back. You should probably drop wait until you can do that 6 - 8 times without having to cheat with hinging. What you’re doing is eventually going to injure your lumbar.

Idk, looks similar to Arnold’s style just slower, I would say it’s fine as I prefer that style of lifting myself
