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.
Oh the Lats! Easily one of the internetâs favorite muscles. Canât reach overhead? Gotta be the lats. Canât do pull-ups? Better train those lats. On a trip to bat wing swole town? Gotta hit those lats! I must say, these muscles get a lot of attention. However, one area where I think they also play a role is in shoulder pain. Before I explain, a little anatomy about the lats, also known as latissimus dorsi: The lats attach from the humerus (upper arm bone), down to the thoracolumbar fascia, which inserts directly into the pelvis. You can see this in the picture of the lats in red. The lats function to extend and internally rotate the arm as well as to extend the lumbar spine (the latter being a lesser known thing I find)
