Welcome to FT, this is a great site. Perhaps your form was off a little bit, it can be quite easy to cheat on 1 arm rows, always remember to keep your back straight, elbows in and head up! Good luck.

No twisting! And don't let your arm 'hang' too far at the beginning of the exercise - often that will result in pain inbetween your soulder blade and your spine.
Welcome to FT!
I think most exercises in the FT programs have visual aides.
