9 Insanely Effective Stretches To Improve Your Flexibility

WE HAVE CREATED A LIST OF THE 9 BEST STRETCHES TO IMPROVE YOUR FLEXIBILITY FAST!

Each stretch will also include the functional movement pattern that’s associated with them.

Double Internal Rotation Stretch

Shoulder internal rotation is critical whenever you are performing pushing exercises such as dips, pushups and bench presses. Unfortunately, a lot of people lack shoulder internal rotation which increases risk of injury

Double Internal Rotation Stretch

Lie on your back and elevate your hips off the ground. Squeeze your scapula together. Place your hands underneath your back with the palms facing downwards. Slowly lower your hips down toward the floor. DO NOT let your shoulders roll forward or come out of their retracted position.

Double Overhand Lat Stretch

The lattisimus dorsi muscle is another problem area in the general population. Tight lats can often pull your shoulders into unhealthy positions and impact your overhead mobility. The double overhand lat stretch will improve your spinal position during squats and your overhead reach position

Double Overhand Lat Stretch

Place your hands palms down on a desk or bar. Keep your scapula retracted and your shoulder back. Brace your core and begin hinging at the hips. Maintain your knees locked out and your back neutral. You can increase the stretch by driving your chest down.

Shoulder Extension Stretch

Many people also lack shoulder extension, or the ability to bring your shoulders behind your body. This is often due to the fact that we are anterior dominant, and we do not deal with things behind us very often. Shoulder extension is necessary for optimal shoulder health and mobility.
