Awesome video and you are totally right. 80% of my clients have at one if not more of these issues

Thanks for watching!

[@Henka5s4]

just a tip, adding music on top but having the gym music in the background makes it super muddy and distracting. Great vid tho!

[@Axiomfitnessacademy]

Noted!

Love the tip

Having trouble understanding why the single arm high cable row was chosen if we are considering that the client may have tight lats. According to NASM, we would stretch that muscle instead of strengthening right?

[@waffflepwn1]

on the eccentric phase of the high row, the lats are being stretched

[@michaelbarletta1024]

Just because a muscle is tight doesn’t mean you can’t train it to become stronger. You’d definitely want to address the chronic contraction of the muscle but if a client wanted to be stronger or bigger in a muscle, you wouldn’t have to hold off on training it until it was no longer chronically tight. Also some muscles are tight because of a weakness. With the lats I don’t believe this is usually the case. I’m just saying it to bring up that one size doesn’t fit all. Lastly, I’ll say that strong lats are essential to stable lifts in the bench press deadlift and squat as they isometrically contract on all of those lifts to prevent unwanted movement and prevent injury. If you remember, the lats are one of the muscles of the LPHC.
