The method of stabilization is chosen based upon evaluation of the type of hazard involved, magnitude of the problem, potential triggering mechanisms, threat to life and cost. The primary focus of this paper is on the various engineering techniques to stabilize a site with minimal landform alteration. This discussion is not intended to replace professional site inspections or designs by engineering geologists and civil engineers.
The lateral pulldown, or lat pulldown for short, is a compound exercise that works the muscles of the back -- particularly the latissimus dorsi.Build this muscle to reap significant functional and aesthetic benefits for the back.ack Builder. The latissimus dorsi is a broad muscle that covers the back of your torso, below the arms and across the ribs. This muscle plays a role in shoulder and spine mobility. If you throw, twist, shrug or bend, you use your latissimus dorsi.
Muscle Targeted. Both wide-grip and close-grip pull-ups further emphasize the target muscle of standard pull-ups, the latissimus dorsi, also known as laterals or lats, which run from the side of the torso to the spine. The wider your hand position, the greater the emphasis on your outer lats. Wide-grip pull-ups take some strain off of the shoulders, a secondary muscle group engaged by pull-ups. Close-grip pull-ups put their focus specifically on the lower lats, the lower back region just above the buttocks.
