Lat Stretch with gym rings

The lat stretch on the gymnastic rings is an effective exercise for mobilizing and stretching the back muscles, especially the latissimus. In this stretch, you hold onto the rings with your hands and gently lower your upper body, creating a strong pull in the side muscles of the back.
