where are my lats
Oh the Lats! Easily one of the internetâs favorite muscles. Canât reach overhead? Gotta be the lats. Canât do pull-ups? Better train those lats. On a trip to bat wing swole town? Gotta hit those lats! I must say, these muscles get a lot of attention. However, one area where I think they also play a role is in shoulder pain. Before I explain, a little anatomy about the lats, also known as latissimus dorsi: The lats attach from the humerus (upper arm bone), down to the thoracolumbar fascia, which inserts directly into the pelvis. You can see this in the picture of the lats in red. The lats function to extend and internally rotate the arm as well as to extend the lumbar spine (the latter being a lesser known thing I find)
