Shoulder caps and lat spread are the whole TOP HALF of the X Frame you’re going for in Figure.
Have you ever wondered how to instantly enhance the appearance of your shoulders and lats within seconds on stage? It’s simpler than you think! In just a few moves, you can make a significant difference to your stage presentation. Let’s delve into the details of this transformative technique.
The 5-Second Technique Unveiled:
Here are two essential aspects to remember for achieving the perfect shoulder and lat pose:
1. Elbows & Lats:
One common mistake observed is the lazy lat pull, where the elbows tend to fall backward. This not only compromises the pose but also grants excessive control to the arms. By ensuring your elbows slightly come forward and the hands inward, you can instantly notice a difference in your pose’s aesthetic.
2. Feeling Your Lats:
Fully engaging your lats plays a pivotal role in enhancing the overall pose. When your lats push your arms away from your body, you’ll sense a profound fullness that accentuates the shoulders, making you appear more substantial on stage.
Mastering the Technique:
Practice this technique while facing a mirror to understand the nuances and make necessary adjustments. Focus on a slight rise in the shoulders while allowing the lats to extend outward and elbows to come forward. This method might take some practice, but once mastered, it can be instantly replicated on stage.
Key Do’s and Don’ts:
- Don’t Over-Shrug: Avoid over-engaging your traps. Instead, focus on a natural rise in your shoulders as your rib cage expands.
- Don’t Engage Elbows Prematurely: Let your lats do the work. Avoid prematurely engaging your arms, as it diminishes the engagement of your lats.
- Find Your Sweet Spot: Experiment with the elbow position to discover the optimal stance that works best for you. Use the mirror as a guide to perfect your pose.

Feeling Your Lats:
The secret lies in fully engaging your lats to push your arms away from your body without lifting them. This technique creates the illusion of resting your arms on your lats, giving your shoulders a broader appearance.
By following your breath, focusing on the position of elbows, and feeling the power of your lats, you’ll elevate your stage presentation. Experiment with this technique and share your experience in the comments. Don’t forget to pass on this valuable knowledge to others who might benefit.
