The Tight “Lat” Test:
1. Press your back and head against a wall!
2. Face the palms of your hands towards your pockets and raise your arms up until both your thumbs touch the wall, “IF YOU CAN’T ACHIEVE THIS”, proceed to stretch your Lats as demonstrated in the video and then repeat the test!
Mobilisation of the Shoulders, Upper Back, Lats, Scapulas and Thoracic Spine is very important to include into your routine, especially if you spend a lot of time sitting in a car or at a desk.
The stretching procedures and methods demonstrated in the accompanying video utilise a TRX Suspension System to enable precise ranges of motion to be achieved at specific angles. All the predetermined gauges of intensity are created by changing the degree of your own bodyweight in relation to the ground to increase or reduce the gravitational pull upon the muscles being stretched.
Different body angles are increased or decreased with small methodical steps and foot pressure into the ground!
Stretching your Lats a couple of times a week to gain flexibility, reduce pain, and increase range of motion will prevent injury, leave you feeling better and allow you to move with strength and ease.
The TRX Suspension System is incredibly versatile and really does come into it’s own by facilitating improved Thoracic mobilisation to levels that are typically extremely hard to reach!
