DYNAMIC BACK STRETCH

This mobilization exercise is an ideal dynamic stretch to warm-up your back muscles, particularly your Lats, before your workout. Additionally, as with most mobility drills, which can be fine-tuned to meet individual needs, it can also be used as part of a therapeutic program to provide an appropriate amount of activity to facilitate recovery.
