Latissimus Dorsi-SMR

Foam roll Lats

The Latissimus Dorsi-SMR is a stretching movement that targets your lats. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Latissimus Dorsi-SMR

  1. Lie on your side with the foam roller positioned under your armpit along the lat.
  2. Slowly roll from the armpit toward mid-back, keeping light core tension.
  3. Pause on tender spots for 20–30 seconds until the tissue releases.
  4. Avoid rolling directly onto your spine or ribcage.
