Scapular Manipulation

nextteenamateur · 02-12-2006, 10:51 PM

I was wondering if anyone here has used this method to widen the lats? I realize that the answer is probably no, but I am very intrigued by this. I *think* I have figured it out, but am a little apprehensive to try it just yet.

Ok. Here is my view on it.

After working back, yo uset up to a doorknob or similar object you can grip that is about hip level. Leaning over at an angle, hold the doorknob. Roll your shoulder over (hard to describe, have to know the feeling) and basically do an extreme stretch but pull it to the point where it pops. I think the key is the shoulder/back angle and how the shoulder is rolled.

just do it while you stretch your hams, mine is very stretched and that is how i did it.....kinda pull on hand with the other focusing on spreading your back

Last time I did something and felt a pop in my back, I'd torn a rotator cuff. I think I'll give this a miss.

i'm not familiar with this stretch. What I do is hang on a very widegrip pullup with 55 lbs attached. That seems to keep soreness away and increase my grip strength.
