1. Latissimus Dorsi
The latissimus dorsi, commonly referred to as “lats,” is the largest
back muscle. They originate from the back of the hips and create a
fan shape across each side of the body. It runs along the spine and
fans out under the scapula to finally attach on the arm bone. Its
primary function is to bring the arms to the body. The lats help
stabilize many every day movements, and therefore tend to be
tight on most people.
