Ok.....tough part is over.



That hand positioning is REALLY lose to the contracted position for lats....


Work on hitting that hand postion several time today and holding for 15-20 seconds each time....each time reducing the amount of pressing with the hands...this will teach lat control......

As you use less and less pressure....slide the hands outward.

ex - they are initially on top of each other

next time....side by side

next time - 2 inches between them.



...this is a very easy way to get the lats to respond and develop that mind-muscle link


Try it several times and then go hit a lat spread in a mirror and you will see a HUGE difference bythe end of the day

will do.


thank you.

Mitch got knocked out of the spelling bee about 1/2 way through. He got nervous and spelled "thank" wrong. T-H-A-N-G.

He's only 6 - I'm just happy he was chosen for it in the first place. They took the 2 top spellers from each class...

It took me a full 6 months to learn to pull my lats out (now I cant keep them down LOL). What I found to be helpfull was doing tons of lat spreads between sets on back day, starting from my elbows being pinned behind me practically touching in back to slowly bringing them forward - hands above my hips pinching my waste hard. Did I explain that adequately?

Yes - you did...and thanks. I'm going to work on this today.

I'm usually pretty quick to pick things up - this is frustrating. I feel like such a

we are going to work on lat flexibility which, looking at the posing, is a definite area to work on - that starts next week.

I feel you. SIX MONTHS before I could do it without starting with my elbows pinched behind my back!

Now I can pull my lats out regardless of what position my arms are in. You sort of push your shoulders down - your elbows out (without moving your limbs, only moving the muscles on your torso) and deep breath in, chest up. Next thing you know - you are ILS woman!!! ta-dahhhhhhhhh!!



hehehehheheeee

 

[The Shadow]

ILS!!!

LMAO



Yep....lats take a LOT of practice......think about it....its literally 1/4 of you body that you are trying to get arranged.....

Shorty...try this when you read this:

As you are sitting there...place your right hand over you flet and place them both....fingers down with your palms are about bellybutton level.....again - fingers down.

Flex your abs.....


now PUSH with your hands REALLY HARD...you will feel the lats tense....


NOW - sit up totally straight

Do you feel how the lats respond when doing that??

Just so you know...I tried it too!!!
Yes like a real fool...
Fool proof...IT works!
