Your grip should not be too tight
If you are holding the handle too tightly, you are doing it wrong. You need not hold the handle tightly. Just make sure you keep hold the handle tightly enough to maintain a proper grip and not lose it while you row. The problem with holding the handle to hard is that it can tire your hands. Your arm will and it can also cause burns on your palm and fingers.
Pay attention to your legs
