Db Lat Pullover to Tricep Press

By | Blog, Movements | 2 Comments

One thing I have become very good at over the years is working with time crunched individuals. Creating “compound” movements to maximize results while minimizing time. This is one of my favorite movements. It is great for opening up your hips, abs, and lats after sitting all day, riding and running. It is also a great addition to any dry land swim workout.
