How to perform it
- Sit upright on the floor with your partner behind you. Raise one arm straight up, and flex the elbow, attempting to touch your hand to your back. Your parner should hold your tricep and wrist. This will be your starting position.
- Attempt to pull your upper arm to your side as your partner prevents you from doing actually doing so.
- After 10-20 seconds, relax the arm and allow your partner to further stretch the lat by applying gentle pressure to the tricep. Hold for 10-20 seconds, and then switch sides.
Muscles worked
The Overhead Lat primarily targets your Lats, with support from your Triceps. You'll need other.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Overhead Lat slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
