Better Shoulder Mobility Starts With the Lats (Do This)

Описание: Most people think their wrists or shoulders are to blame when overhead work feels jammed or their front rack position feels awful… but the real culprit is usually the lats.

Tight lats restrict overhead mobility, pull your elbows down in the front rack, and force your wrists into terrible positions that eventually get beat up.

If you’ve ever cleaned a barbell or hit front squats where your wrists were screaming—this is why.

In this video, I’m breaking down a simple but insanely effective banded lat stretch that fixes all of that. It’s quick, accessible, and delivers instant improvements to both overhead pressing and your front rack position.

✅ What This Fixes

🔹 Tight shoulders

🔹 Poor overhead mobility

🔹 Front rack pain (especially wrist pain)

🔹 Lat stiffness & elbow drop during cleans or squats

🔹 Difficulty keeping elbows high

🧠 Why This Works

The lats are internal rotators, and when they’re stiff, they clamp the shoulder down and forward. By combining heavy band tension with external rotation, you get a deeper and more effective lat release.

This creates more space in your shoulder joint, reduces downward pull on the elbows, and instantly improves overhead range.

This mobilization is basic—but incredibly powerful. Just a few minutes can completely change how your shoulders and wrists feel during training.
