Lats

The Latissimus Dorsi, or lats, are key for pulling movements and spinal stability. They connect the upper arm to the torso, enabling power and control during rows, pull-ups, and carries.

Strong lats improve posture, support pressing mechanics, and enhance total-body balance. Exercises like rows, pull-ups, and deadlifts are staples for developing back width and function.
