It’s a long road back from shoulder injuries so worth thinking about.
all the best

I always incorperate these into my workout as I feel you get a good stretch. The one question I have is, how much work is done by the lat compared to work done by the rear deltoid?

Thanks again!

I tend to pay close attention to the curve of my lower back as I had a herniated disc surgery at L4-L5 about 15 months back. But if arching your back does not affect involvement of the lat muscles, then it’s all cool.

You place your feet in a stable stance, far back enough to make your back almost horizontal, and also stick your bum out, which ensures the lower back does not arch. Keeps it’s natural curve. It does make it harder to lift the same weight as before, possibly indicating more isolation…? But then less load/impact on the lats achievable, I guess.

@Turo. Not sure what you mean by curving the back forward. Let me know and I’ll explain, buddy.

Is it me or you seem to curve your back forward just a bit thru the lift? I read somewhere that to maximize lat recruitment you must keep your back arched at all times.
