Self-myofascial release (SMR) for the lats helps reduce muscle tension and improve overhead mobility — a great warm-up or cooldown tool.
Instructions
- Lie on your side and place a foam roller just behind your armpit, angled under your back.
- Extend the arm on the side you're rolling and place the other hand on the ground for support.
- Gently shift your body weight onto the roller, moving slowly to target tight areas in your lats.
- Pause and hold pressure on any tender spots for 10–30 seconds.
- Switch sides and repeat.
