Who Is Daniel Coffeen?

The Lat Spread Problem

Among all competitive poses, the lat spread is one of the most difficult to master. Without proper grip, control, and balance, athletes can struggle to open up fully or end up displaying an uneven taper. Daniel saw this issue again and again in his work with athletes—and decided to solve it.

The Birth of Lat Spread Tape™

Working with Titan Recovery™, Daniel co-developed Lat Spread Tape™, a first-of-its-kind posing tool that wraps around the thumbs to provide better grip and friction against the hips. The result? A stronger anchor point for more consistent lats, improved mind-muscle connection, and better on-stage symmetry.

Why It Works:

• Provides tactile feedback for more controlled flare
• Helps reduce asymmetry in lat spread poses
• Trains better pose memory through repetition

It’s no surprise that some of the industry’s best—including IFBB Pro William Bonac—have backed this product. It’s not just tape. It’s a tool built on Daniel’s years of expertise and tested in real posing rooms and competition prep.

Why Daniel Is the Authority

• Coach to top amateur and pro athletes
• Biomechanics-driven posing analysis
• Founder of Textbook Posing—an educational leader in the industry
• Co-developer of Lat Spread Tape™ with Titan Recovery™
