    Re: Kim

    I’m a physician and a runner…but not a surgeon...so it’s been a while since my surgery rotations. But if I remember aright, they usually use a partial flap off the latissimus insertion and swing it under to the front to provide blood supply to the overlying skin. It ain’t the whole Lat, but it’s obviously enough to matter

    Anyway, it got me wondering. Might this be an instance where a trap bar would actually be the solution? Seems it would decrease the need for the lat to control the weight in the horizontal plane.

    Sorry, coach. Should’ve said “manipulate”, instead of “control”

    Control was correct. Sumo achieves the same thing without the loss of lockout control at the top.
