In order to make the training effect of latissimus dorsi better, the key is to exert strength on the back. How can we achieve accurate pull back? These three conditions are indispensable, which can make you fully burn latissimus dorsi and learn quickly.
1. Flexible shoulder joint
Generally speaking, a person's humerus can't rotate freely, which means that your shoulder joint is inflexible. At this time, your arm can't stretch backwards, so you can only make up for it by bending your arm every time you practice. It seems that the flexibility of shoulder joint largely determines whether latissimus dorsi exercises better.
2. The thoracic spine is flexible.
The thoracic spine is elastic, which is easy to understand. Many people have seen some hunchbacked people walking, and these hunchbacked people are just the inflexible thoracic vertebrae. When you find that you have some traces of hunchback, the effect of practicing your back will naturally not be very good.
Generally, the thoracic vertebrae of hunchbacked people are inflexible, which will limit the expansion and contraction of scapula and gradually shorten the return journey of latissimus dorsi. People with flexible thoracic vertebrae are different. This latissimus dorsi contraction or pectoral muscle stretching can come and go freely. We can adjust it by supporting our shoulders.
3. Flexible hip joint
It is impossible to do back exercises without bending over, such as barbell rowing and T-bar rowing. If your hip joint is flexible enough, your hip and legs will share the waist pressure, thus achieving the continuity of training. And it also has the advantage that you can fully stimulate the latissimus dorsi when doing pull-ups or high-level pull-downs. We can improve it by kneeling and hip flexion.
In short, to make joints flexible at all times, it is necessary to ensure that these movements are trained in place. In order to train latissimus dorsi better, the above three conditions are indispensable.
