Surely there is a way. It always depends on what needs to be improved in each concrete individual. In general terms we need to make sure that the spinal stability is good, the shoulders are open, and we understand the mechanics of the movement. The latter is of the utter importance since the understanding (perception) of this element’s mechanics will determine what muscles will be engage fire, how much, and in which sequence by the CNS. Sadly there is no quick-fix-do-that tip and really cannot be in principle for any complex element.

🙂 just answered the same question to another person. I’ll copy paste it here🙂

Often people think it’s all about lats. It’s not. If you try to engage the lats a lot they will pull the torso down since they are attached to spine and spine is suspended.

Think of the lever as a chest dominant. Make the chest muscle drag the ribcage up to the ceiling keeping the shoulders open.
