3 Easy Hacks to Stretch Your Lats Better

Get Started With Your Mobility: tommorrison.uk...
It’s no secret that tight lats can seriously affect your overhead position for a lot of movements like pull ups and overhead press.
So here are the best ways to open up your lats and some awesome tricks you can implement right away!
3 of the best hacks are:
Use your breath
Focus on one side at a time before doing both arms together
Have a wiggle!
These tricks will help you gain more range of motion where most people just get stuck!
If you have a movement that you know you are limited with, such as an overhead press, then test it before using these stretches and then retest it afterwards - any improvement?
Aim to integrate the new range you achieve with these stretches into your training and you will find your tightness becoming less frequent and then you won’t need to stretch as often 💪🏼💪🏼

This is hands down the best fitness channel on KZbin. Focusing on the things that actually matter. Thanks for posting.

[@TomMorrison]

Thankyou so much!!

When I started I couldn’t move my hips off the door frame on one side, so was just doing side bends. 9 months later(!) I went back to a door frame, one side was great, other side was rubbish. One month later and it’s better, but not much. Thank you for this video. I have gym rings. I’ll start putting extra effort into these tomorrow. My overall mobility is vastly improved from where it was, but plenty more to come I’m sure. Thank you SMM.

Brilliant!!!

[@richardhalford68]

Oh. My. God. Why wasn’t I doing these before? Hurts like bejesus, but able to get a better stretch into the troublesome area and have a wiggle. Looking forwards to seeing more improvements. Happy days.

Brilliant explanation 👌

[@TomMorrison]

Thankyou! I have spent a lot of time with these ones and love them 😂😂

[@giovannimessina7124]

Great video Tom and Jenny, amazing as usual! I get shoulder pain when I try the bench stretch...any idea why that would be?😅

[@TomMorrison]

Could be tightness in your upper back, have you checked out our shoulder impingement video yet?

[@giovannimessina7124]

@TomMorrison i have not, will head there next 😁 thanks!

[@zaziro]

Can you pls also make a video for stretching the chest

[@alexanderboldizar7919]

Thank you for these! Do you have a video for stretching the traps?

[@TomMorrison]

This is a really good follow along to hit kzbin.info/www/bejne/apO1noejmZ6fo68

[@sergekamga4512]

My lats are too stiff. I need these exercises

[@TomMorrison]

Good to do them really frequently at first and then things will maintain, 4 times per week is a good sweet spot!

[@manasgupta5004]

I am facing hard time in doing a glute bridge can tight lats be a cause of it because of chain connection of lats with glute?

[@TomMorrison]

If the front of your hips are tight it can hinder your range, lats not so much

[@PaulManningg]

What happens when, while hanging, one scapula protrudes more than the other?? Is it okay to continue the stretches, no pain

[@TomMorrison]

Yes would keep an eye on it just! Have you caught our serratus anterior video? There are a lot of really good drills in it I would add for more scap control 😄

[@DG-EditsYT]

I would like you both to stretch me out to the max until I am sore and relaxed! 🤩😛🤎💥
