The most
impressive area of a fully developed back is the sweep of the lats
muscles. It is this muscular lats muscles width that declares to the
world that you are truly a bodybuilder. And it is the lats muscles that
are likely to first attract the judges attention, even when standing
relaxed in the first round. The traditional V shape of the bodybuilder -
wide shoulders descending to a firm, tight waistline - is dependent on
the right kind of lats muscle development.
The width of
the lats muscles is developed by any kind of pulldown movement, such as
cable pulldowns or chins. The precise way that the pulldown movement
affects the lats muscles is determined by the angle you are working at,
how wide apart your arms are, and whether you are pulling down in front
or to the rear.
The lats
muscles are also evident from the front view, complementing the chest by
widening the torso, with the line of the back muscles acting as a frame
for the pectorals muscles. the lats muscles contribute to any number of
poses, including front and rear double biceps and a variety of twisting
shots.
