  2. Trapezius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapezius

    An example of trapezius function is an overhead press. When activating together, the upper and lower fibers also assist the middle fibers (along with other muscles such as the rhomboids) with scapular retraction/adduction. The trapezius also assists in abduction of the shoulder above 90 degrees by rotating the glenoid upward.

  7. Latissimus dorsi muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latissimus_dorsi_muscle

    Compound exercises for the 'lats' typically involve elbow flexion and tend to recruit the biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis for this function. Depending on the line of pull, the trapezius muscles can be recruited as well; horizontal pulling motions such as rows recruit both latissimus dorsi and trapezius heavily.
