Lat Release with Acumobility Eclipse Foam Roller

Presented by Spartan Training®

< This mobility exercise is great for getting into one of the hardest to reach, but most essential areas for all upper body mechanics--your lats.

Technique

While lying on your side, lean your lat into the center strip of the Acumobility Eclipse foam roller. Engage the opposite glute for stability. This release can be really tender so if you can’t raise your hip off the ground, keep it on the ground until it starts to loosen up enough to raise off the ground. Move through small rolls applying pressure into the lat muscle. Then lean forward and use the outer pressure strip to drive pressure into the pec muscle. Then lean back and use the outer pressure strip to drive pressure into the teres muscles. Spend about 1-2 minutes in this area a few times a week.
