Step by Step

This is a good exercise for strength or endurance of the Lats
Like any exercise you should only do the exercise if it is pain free during, after and the next day. Obviously it is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48 to 72 hours but this should be manageable
Get about 1 metre of exercise band and loop it around a fixed object like a table leg
Next lie on your back with a pillow underneath you
Take hold of the ends of the exercise band with each hand above your head
The slack should be taken up with your arms outstretched above you
Now pull the band ends downwards by pulling through your elbows until you’re able to squeeze your lats at the bottom of the movement and your shoulder blades are together
Once you reach the bottom point, then slowly return to the start position and repeat
Choose a resistance band that is high for strengthening and is low for endurance.
Perform 6- 10 repetitions and repeat for 3-5 sets in total for strength.
For endurance you will need to do 15-25 repetitions and repeat for 3-5 sets.
Rests need to be at least 3 minutes between sets for strength and no more than 30 seconds for endurance.
You should aim to work either session 2 to 3 times per week once you have added resistance and you should slowly increase resistance levels as able
