Because the latissimus dorsi origin is from the back and it inserts on the humerus. It doesn't cover the abdomen at all.

What is the broad muscle that covers the lower back?
The erector spinae is the muscle you are looking for, however is should be noted that technically this is a large group of muscles.
What is the muscle that is primarily targeted in a pull up?
Pull-ups primarily target the latissimus dorsi muscle group in the back, though many other muscles are involved in the movement. These assisting muscles include the brachialis, brachioradialis, biceps brachii, teres major, deltoid muscle, infraspinatus, teres minor, rhomboids, levator scapulae, trapezius lower, trapezius middle, and pectoralis minor.
What muscles form a posterior group and act on the pectoral girdle?
They are rhomboid major and rhomboid minor. You have trapezius muscle. The latissimus dorsi gives or takes the support is not clear.
As you palpate medially toward the spine you may lose contact with the twelfth rib because it is deep to which muscle group?
The latissimus dorsi muscle group may make it difficult to palpate the twelfth rib near the spine. This large muscle group overlies the lower ribs dorsally.
Which muscle group is primarily worked by the lat pull-down?
The upper-body muscle groups are worked when one does lat pull downs. The muscle groups mainly worked are the ones in your back called latissimus dorsi. They also work other muscle groups like traps.
What primary muscle is used in a chin up?
Chin-ups, just as most exercises use a primary & secondary muscle group. The primary muscle group would be the back (or latissimus dorsi). This is what helps to give that "V" - shape in the torso area. (along with slimming down the torso area, of course) The secondary muscle group would be the biceps. Depending on your grip position, you can focus either more on your "lats", or arms.

The two major muscles of the upper arm are the biceps on the front and the triceps on the back.
Which major muscle group is worked when you do sit up's?
the abdominal muscles
The bench press is a muscular resistance exercise that primarily works with which muscle group?
Mainly back and bicep. Or specifically the sternal portion of the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, teres major, posterior deltoid, the rhomboids, the middle and lower portions of the trapezius, and the elbow flexors. It also depends on if you're doing chin ups, pull ups or lat pull ups.
