Lat Mobility

💥 Can’t raise your arm up because your lat is too tight? Our lats are a very big muscle that attach to our arm and will restrict shoulder function if they are not mobile. Whenever we have shoulder or overhead issues we should always check the lats as a source. Here are 2 exercises we can do to address this!
.
1️⃣ Kneeling Prayer Single Arm abs Rotation: on all fours put the same side elbow as your lat issue up on a table or chair. Make a fist and bring the fist back towards your body. Now hinge forward and back and then lift your leg up and rotate away and mobilize it side to side.
.
2️⃣ Foam Roller Weighted Lat Reach: put a foam roller under your upper back and find a light weight to hold. Keeping the arms straight, slowly lower the weight over head as far as you can. This is both an eccentric contraction of the lat and passive mobilization that will help lat function.
