- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, Physical Therapist.
- Brad Heineck, Physical Therapist.
- And we are the most famous
physical therapists on the internet.
- In our opinion, of course, Bob.
- Should be a short video today, Brad.
We're gonna talk about three killer core
posture and lat exercises.
Boo-yah!
So, you know, when you wanna strengthen
your core and the back,
you obviously wanna get the back muscles themselves.
- Sure, right.
- But you also, the lats come down,
and, you know, through all that fibrous material,
they attach into the abdominal core, too.
- Fibrous material?
- What would you call it? - They call it tissue.
- Tissue? - Tissue!
- Alright.
Fibrous tissue.
(laughs)
And also the abdominal muscles,
- Oh, right.
- You know, come around and attach into the back, too.
- Right, and I think that gets missed out
doing all these at once is,
you know, people think core and they think,
you know, six pack, everything here.
- Right.
- But boy you've gotta get the back muscles,
- All the way around.
- And those lat muscles are really part of that low back.
They really get that fashion tight altogether.
- It's hard to do lats at home
unless you have a pull up bar,
but we're gonna show you a way to do it without one today.
You can do it with the booyah stick.
- Well, our banding system works quite well, Bob,
with the anchor.
- Oh yeah, that's right.
- Right, of course.
But this is really impressive.
Now, I do have to say,
I wish I could do this exercise,
but as with a spondylolisthesis my back--
- Yeah, this would not be good for you.
- Or if you have stenosis, you know,
stenosis in your low back,
- More than likely not gonna be good either.
- It probably is gonna be uncomfortable,
so if you have pain with this one in your back,
discount it, but most people do fine with it.
- That's always the case.

High end ones. - Mattresses
and ThermaTecs and all that.
Alright, we're gonna go ahead and start.
What you need is a bed and you need some type of pull,
booyah stick would probably be the best.
But you're gonna go ahead, and this is where you're gonna
actually work the lats, and you're gonna work your core too.
Now you can actually go out further and make this harder.
- [Brad] Sure.
- But I would recommend probably start it off
a little bit closer, because it is very difficult to do.
You're gonna grab up like this,
and I'm lifting up myself up like this,
so my core is working
and my lats are working.
Four - Boy, I heard
a bone cracking or, Bob, you okay?
- Five, no, I think that was the mat.
(laughs)
- Now, you look, it does take a significant pull to do this.
- Yes it does.
- The booyah stick will not break on this.
- No. - These are incredibly strong.
So you're not gonna get something,
a cheap piece of doweling,
or a broomstick that's kind of old.
- So, okay, like I said, I feel that in my lats,
I feel like this is a tough workout.
If I went out further it'd even be more difficult.
- Oh right, yep.
- Next one, I'm gonna go ahead,
and I'm gonna go ahead,
and you're gonna start like this,
and you're gonna go ahead and lift up like this.
And this one is great for the upper back,
but even I'm getting lower back too.
- Right in here, you could just,
oh, I can see, I gotta cover it back up, Bob, sorry.
- If you go out too far,
you could actually fall off the bed,
so you gotta be careful that you're, you know what I mean?
- [Brad] Yeah, you're starting to teeter totter there.
You can see his feet are coming over.
- It would be nice if you could actually have someone
sit on your legs, and that would...
- [Brad] I'm not going to.
- Well, if you have a pet.
- [Brad] Yeah. - You know, like a dog
that weighs maybe 30 pounds, that would help.
- [Brad] Yeah, your wife wouldn't even do that.
- Nope. - [Brad] Nope.
- Okay, next one is, we're actually gonna go
and we're actually gonna get a little bit of twisting
going on here too.
So we're going back and forth like this.
And now we're getting a little bit more of the
obliques, and you're working that way.
- Boy, listen to his voice.
You can tell, this man is working hard.
He really is putting out for our viewers,
so you know, applaud him.
- Yeah, so - It is.
- You know, do 10 to 15, and you know,
if you wanna rest a little bit,
and then you can go right back into it again,
and start doing these.
- Do another set.
- You'll, you'll, this'll tax you.
- Yeah. - This'll put you to the test.
- I got tired watching you.
- Yeah, (giggles)
- I'm kinda glad now that maybe I can't do these.
(Both laugh)
- It's like that one video
where I got to watch you the whole video,
- Yeah - So that was kind of fun, so
Alright thanks. - This is gonna be our record
for shortest video, Bob.
- Well, finally we did one. - And you're still tired,
so it's improved. - Finally we did one
that's short. - There ya go.
- Thanks for watching.
