How to do it

  1. 01

    While lying on the floor, place a foam roll under your back and to one side, just behind your arm pit. This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Keep the arm of the side being stretched behind and to the side of you as you shift your weight onto your lats, keeping your upper body off of the ground. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and switch sides.

In the app

Latissimus Dorsi-SMR appears when you own a foam roller and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have a foam roller

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.

With bodyweight
