Try out this test and and see if the problem is truly just your shoulders or if it's from your lats!

🔑 Test positions:
-Low back must stay pressed against the wall, it if comes off--you have tightness
-Maintain the same position with your hands

If you have lat tightness, try out that stretch a couple times a day, especially as part of your warm-up routine!

Balance is more than staying upright—it’s a skill that protects joints and improves performance.

Athletes rely on balance for cutting, landing, and reacting quickly.

Adults of all ages benefit from balance training, which reduces the risk of ankle sprains, hip fractures, and falls. Like strength, balance improves with practice.

Start simple: stand on one leg while brushing your teeth, try heel-to-toe walking, or hold yoga poses. More advanced drills include single-leg squats, hops, or balance exercises on unstable surfaces.

Improvements come quickly and transfer to both daily life and sports. Think of balance training as “insurance” for your body—it helps prevent injuries before they happen.

Dynamic stretching with movements similar to your workout (even the same movements at a lighter weight or lighter pace) will prepare your muscles, joints, and tendons better than static stretching.

Save the static stretching for your cool down afterwards!
