Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Kneeling Lat Stretch.
A floor-based mobility exercise that lengthens the latissimus dorsi and surrounding back muscles. Performed in a kneeling position with arms extended forward onto a surface, allowing gravity to deepen the stretch through the entire lat from armpit to hip.
The Kneeling Lat Stretch is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
