The latissimus dorsi are among the largest muscle groups in the body. Located on the back and sides of the body, they serve to pull the arms down towards the body, and also from the front of the body to the chest, being "adductor" muscles. They are used during chin-ups and rowing movements, being assisted by many smaller sets of accessory muscles. They form the "V" shape desirable among bodybuilders as they achieve a taper from upper chest to waist.
