Those things are all true and all nice to know, but they donât explain why the lats are so important in a bench press. The lats literally contribute by helping you driving the bar off the chest, in this instance (the first part of the bench press) they are a pushing muscle, not a pulling muscle.
The lats are the winglike muscles that run up your side from your hip bone to your armpit. While any pullup or chin-up variation hits your lats to a degree, going wider is more effective for lat development. Pullups are also performed with an overhand grip, as opposed to an underhand grip as used for chin-ups, and this makes a difference, too. According to Brad Longazel of the Complete Performance Institute in Kentucky, wide overhand pulls activate the lats more than wide or narrow underhand pulls.
