X Lat Extension

Improve back development, athletic performance and protect against injury with the X lat extension. Dr. Eric Serrano MD invented this movement using two high cable pulleys, however the exercise can be performed with one arm at a time when this particular cable set up is not available.

During the starting position it is crucial to retract and depress the shoulder blades to gain the most benefit out of every grueling rep. Maintain a five degree elbow bend to keep the emphasis on the lats. Greater elbow flexion creates more triceps involvement. Practice the proper form using a reduced weight load and gradually increase over time for greater stimulus.

A key to success is fixing weaknesses which often occur due to poor training program design. Proper execution keeps the latissimus dorsi down which prevents shoulder impingement.

Notice the wide finishing point on the bottom of every rep. It is much easier for the hands to stay closer to the hips on the bottom of the movement. An extended pause on the bottom of each rep increases the intensity and benefits dramatically.
