Lisätään vaikka tänne todella hyvä teksti latsien kehittämisestä. Jos jollakin on ongelmia päästä tietyn lisäpainorajan yli leuanvedossa (tai ylätaljassa) niin kannattaa lukea, melkoisesti uutta asiaa. Ehkäpä ne latsitkin siinä ohessa SUORASTAAN RÄJÄHTÄVÄT kasvuun. ;)

Aika hyvännäköstä tekstiä..Tosin itte en kaikkea ymmärrä:(..
Ittee tekis mieli ainaki saada suomennos tähän:
Driving up the Bench Press
Back in August of 2005, I started training with the crew at South Side gym in Stratford, CT. In the crew is a guy named Vincent Dizenzo, who has an 800-pound shirted bench and 600-pound raw bench under his belt. One of my major problems was poor leg drive, and I never realized what it was until I saw Vincent bench.
He told me that once I got leg drive down, my bench would go up 10%. Long story short, my leg drive has gotten better, and I've gone from a 340 bencher to a 420 bencher in about fifteen months. Vincent knows his stuff.
So how does leg drive relate to the lats? Just like we saw with the squat and deadlift, the force from the heels driving into the floor has to get to the bar somehow, and the lats are one avenue through which this force has to travel.
How can we ensure that our lats are engaged appropriately when we bench? First, it's imperative that we ditch the "bodybuilder-style," elbows-flared style and replace it with a more elbows-tucked style of benching. I went into great detail on the difference between the two in Shoulder Savers Part I. There are some videos included, so check it out.
As you watch those videos, consider the diagonal fiber orientation of the lats. You'll see that the elbows-tucked style increases lat recruitment dramatically, especially as you learn to increase activation intentionally by pulling the bar down to you. And, as we'll discuss now, it'll actually increase scapular stability and protect your shoulders and upper back from injury.
