So ya, I’ve been a little bit into the lats recently. Some would say I’ve gone a little bit crazy with the lats. Fair enough. I can’t argue with you there. If you missed it, I just wrote an article on how tight lats might be causing shoulder pain during kipping movements.
However, I want to share with you one of my favorite exercises to promote overhead mobility, specifically with regards to tight lats. It’s the supinated, close grip pull-up performed in a hollow position. Check out the description below in the video for why it’s so good.
