Best Lats Exercises

The latissimus dorsi are the largest muscles in the back, responsible for the V-taper appearance. They are primary movers in pull-ups, rows, and lat pulldowns.

The latissimus dorsi originates from the thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, and lower ribs, inserting into the intertubercular groove of the humerus. It performs shoulder adduction, extension, and internal rotation of the arm.
