Just tried the lat activation for the first time with my workout. After the first 2, I could feel everything in my lats. I also dropped the weight and felt full contractions in my lat. I noticed when doing pullups, I wasn't feeling it as much until I did some negatives. This was great advice John and it's going to be part of my back program from now on. Thanks @mountaindog1!!

@ColFighter018 5 жыл бұрын

I was on google today and looking up lat activation. Then of course your video is recommended so I look into. Did the first part of lat activation and it's incredible how simple but yet effective it is. Planning on doing back tomorrow and I wont be surprised others will be like "whats he doing" lol again thanks a lot John!

@doomguy2000 8 ай бұрын
