Overview
The overhead lat is a back exercise that targets the latissimus dorsi muscle. To perform the overhead lat, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand. With your arms extended overhead, bend at the waist and lower the dumbbells behind you until they are just above your hips. Then, extend your arms back up to the starting position. Repeat this for 10-12 repetitions.
