Stretching Techniques for Back and Lats

My name is Pink and I'm really glad to meet you.

You're recommended to me by some people.

Hey

You can do that stretch two different ways depending on if you want to hit your

thoracic spine mid-back or your tight lats.

Now this way is how you'd bias the thoracic spine.

With your elbows up on a box, you're going to drop your chest towards

the ground.

Take a deep breath out as you do this and you should feel a good stretch in your

mid-back. Now, if you want to hit your tight lats,

here's how you do it

differently. Your elbows are going to be in a V position.

The lats internally rotate the shoulder, so you're going to externally rotate the

shoulder and then you're going to round your upper back like this as you sit

back. Now this should bring a stretch out

if done correctly in your

lateral armpit region when you go down.

So not a mid-back stretch, but a lateral armpit stretch and that

is where the lats

run. Try this for five deep breaths in and out.
