Primary muscles: Lats

How to do it

  1. While lying on the floor, place a foam roll under your back and to one side, just behind your arm pit. This will be your starting position.
  2. Keep the arm of the side being stretched behind and to the side of you as you shift your weight onto your lats, keeping your upper body off of the ground. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and switch sides.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Latissimus Dorsi-SMR from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Lats volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
