Show me 10 as if I wasn't here and you walked in the gym, how you would do this. So where do you feel that? So you felt it in your lower back. So the lats actually start under the armpit and they come down. So we have like the mid back, we got the lower back, and we got the lats. So you didn't even feel this area. No. I'm going to show you why. First things first with the pad. You always want the pad in a place where you can lock your knees in. I didn't even know you could do that. You didn't know that you could do that? No. I always say you want to be a little bit more than shoulder width. So if I'm shoulder width about here, try to go like right outside of that. You're going to put your shoulders down in your back pocket. So you're going to be like this locked in place. You went like this and then you were pulling in front of you, right? If the bar path is in front of me, it's going to create tension forward, which is why I have to compensate with my lower back. You want to think rib cage down. So this is where people get confused. If my rib cage is flared, I'm like this. Yeah. Rib cage down means I'm like here. So I went from this to dropped. Slightly leaning back and you're Exhale down Or inhale. Exhale push down into the floor, into the floor, into the floor five. And we're getting this again All here. So before you said this, you're not getting that at all? No. If I stay stuck in this position and I'm like trying to maintain this. Yeah. My core is lit up. Versus if I let it come forward, I get a stretch. Exhale down, elbows to the floor. Hold for one, two. So let it come forward. Yes. Now pull down from there. Yes. Yes. Okay. Now we're getting it. Okay. Let yourself come forward. Now come down, elbows to the floor. Better. So let it come forward and down. Good. Let it come forward. Elbows to the floor. Push into my hands. Three, two more. Let that come forward. Stretch. Exhale down. Four. That was actually really good. Heck yeah.
