Kneeling Lat Stretch
On all fours, slide one hand forward along the floor and let the chest sink; a one-arm puppy that lengthens that side's lat.
How to do it
Setup
On all fours, hands under the shoulders, knees under the hips, toes tucked.
Steps
- Slide one hand forward along the floor until the arm is long.
- Lower the chest toward the floor, the hips staying over the knees.
- Hold and breathe, then walk the hand back and switch sides.
Common mistakes
Seat sinking to the heels: hold the hips high over the knees. Supporting elbow buckling: press the floor away with that hand. Lower back sagging: draw the belly in.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
