To balance and strengthen the back part of your body your lats need to have the proper strength and flexibility. They are important because they run from your upper arm all the way down (like a “V”) to your hips. They also have a direct connection to your pec underneath the armpit. They are really big muscles and can be trained a lot of different ways.
