Slightly arch your back and keep your scapula retracted the entire duration of the set, even on the negative. If you're using a wide overhand grip, then make sure your shoulder are moving in the frontal plane and you are adducting (Think the opposite of a lateral raise, but using your elbow joint also) the shoulders as opposed to extending (Think the opposite of a front raise) them. If you want to use a closer grip then you should focus more on shoulder extension.

The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Grasp the bar overhand wider than shoulder width.
Keep a natural arch in your back. Pull straight down to the FRONT! Picture you shoulder blades moing down and in towards your spine. Repeat. |
