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.
Your pectoralis minor does do some of the work, as do the biceps, shoulders and other muscles of the back -- but for the most part, the pull-up is a lat exercise. The pectoralis major, the larger of the two pectoral muscles, is not activated much at all by pull-ups.
