Widening your lats - simple exercise

[1badboy]

Those stretchers made a huge difference in my upper back and shoulder girdle flexibility, and added quite a bit of detail to my upper lats...I love those too..the trick is dipping your head down and really feeling it pull...

for those of you who havent seen what Dave is talking about..

That looks like a great variation- I will try tomorrow. Thanks Dave and John!\

Tried them tonight, don't think I went down far enough but really felt a hell of a stretch.

Thanks for the tip.

Would you recommend doing 3 sets of those or just 1 at the end as a stretching exercise?

3 sets...each set you do you will notice it feels better as your shoulder girdle and surrounding soft tissue loosens. Give it a few weeks for full effect. After a few weeks you will notice definite increase in flexibility and ROM.

I am now referring to the "stretchers" by the way - not the heavy partial pulldowns.

too bad i didn't even notice the excersise you were doing, I was too busy looking at all the freaky shit poppin out in your back

hahaha - you are one to talk..when it comes to freaky shit popping out of your back...

I have to do something...you can just stand there...!!

Been doing something similiar to this for a while now. For the guys trying it... you can feel it "release" at the top of the movement. At least that how it feels to me. Plus, if I start with it, I can feel a better pump thoughout the entire workout.
