I’ve been dealing with tightness and stiffness in my upper back, around the area near the shoulder blade, especially after doing pull-ups.

I’ve noticed that sometimes stretching my lateral muscles (like lats/side body) helped a lot in the past, but other times it doesn’t seem to make much difference.

Right now I’m experimenting with:

lat/side stretches

thoracic mobility

light soft tissue work

Some days it feels better, other days it tightens up again.

I’m not looking for medical advice, just curious about training experience:

👉 Which stretches or mobility exercises have helped you reduce upper back tightness from pull-ups?

👉 Do you focus more on lats, chest, or thoracic mobility?
