The latissimus dorsi is a broad, flat ‘V’ shaped superficial muscle that occupies most of the lower posterior thorax and plays a crucial role in trunk movements and strong actions on the humerus. The lats are responsible for functions such as pulling, pushing, twisting and stabilizing the back when extending the shoulders. Exercises for this musculature are important in providing muscle balance for chest and shoulder pressing exercises.
Shoulder extension, adduction and internal rotation increases isolation of the medial latissimus dorsi. When you chest- support these actions in a rowing motion studies report the highest mean EMG activity compared to other lat exercises.
The Pendulum 3-Way Row provides 3 different grips, as well as a chest-support and a range limiter system to maximize the development of the latissimus dorsi. A great way to Get the back Strong.
