Lat Stretch

The lats and posterior cuff are difficult parts of the shoulder to stretch. Dave takes you through a neat little stretch that Adam Dunn turned him on to. Give it a try!

Holy cow! I didn't think my lats were tight until I tried this. I can barely get into the position much less stretch into it. Hoping this is what is causing my horrible posture, and shoulder pain. Thanks

Great stretch thank you for sharing . My Chiro showed me this but I have not been curving my lower back but after doing it as you showed I was able to get the mind muscle connection right . Thank you again !!

When I do this without a bar my hands are touching and it’s a struggle to even keep them separate

I find I have a few blocks with this stretch - one is that my head gets in the way - I cannot achieve much of a stretch because my head doesn't clear the bench/chair. Next is that my lats are so tight that my elbows slide outward when I try to get in the stretch. And third is that my lats are so tights/restricted that I actually really don't feel my of a stretch in my lats...I feel it more so in my anterior deltoid. Any tips? Anyone else have this problem???

i have just done a similiar external rotated stretch for the lat and felt a slight pain in my since 3 years broken shoulder which is linked to lat rotator cuff but the whole side feels off. ill keep doing that one because i feel like it might open tissue i havent been able to adress during my rehab yet!

Do you have an alternative if one suffers from rotator cuff pain?

i literally only feel this in my shoulders. my back is straight and im doing it exactly as in the video, the only thing happening is my shoulder hurting, and feeling like im breaking them somehow. moving my arms outwards makes it just worse.

I have shoulder pain in my left shoulder and tried these. Its really hard for my left side to do these
