Rowing machine targets
Lats are the latissimus dorsi muscles—the broad, flat muscles of the back that extend from the armpit down to the lower spine.
The term belongs to gym culture, where developing impressive lats is a common goal: He's been working on his lats, Her lats flared out during the pull-up.
Separately, the lat was Latvia's currency before adoption of the euro.
