Why does he have to deload after every rep? I mean why whould he need to do that all the time?
This is what I've been talking about. Everybody focusses on deteils like deloading the bar or exact torso angle. Very small details which are nothing more than variables compared to the bigger picture. I could compare this, quite frankly, to worrying about paused benches or tempo before you have even really perfected BENCHING in general.
You're getting it but you're not quite there yet. I think it would help if you took a moment during setup to get in position properly. What you are doing is walking up, bending over, scooping up the bar and going to town. You never establish the position you want your upper back, shoulders, and chest to be in so you are starting from a deficit.
The proper thing to do is DEADLIFT the bar up....with a properly executed deadlift locked out....shoulders down and back, chest out...you know the drill.
Then go down as if you are about to do a romanian. That means you are going to keep the shoulders and chest in that position you've established just as you would if you are doing a romanian. Chest out, upper back extended, etc....
Then only when you have reached the desired torso position do you allow the scapula, which have been pinched together still, do drift forward allowing a little stretch. You do not allow them to elevate. The remain depressed. Then you row...
You might want to use even a slightly lighter weight so that you can really get a good tight pause at the top and FEEL that full scapula retraction and back extension.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
