The method of stabilization is chosen based upon evaluation of the type of hazard involved, magnitude of the problem, potential triggering mechanisms, threat to life and cost. The primary focus of this paper is on the various engineering techniques to stabilize a site with minimal landform alteration. This discussion is not intended to replace professional site inspections or designs by engineering geologists and civil engineers.
The lateral pulldown, or lat pulldown for short, is a compound exercise that works the muscles of the back -- particularly the latissimus dorsi.Build this muscle to reap significant functional and aesthetic benefits for the back.ack Builder. The latissimus dorsi is a broad muscle that covers the back of your torso, below the arms and across the ribs. This muscle plays a role in shoulder and spine mobility. If you throw, twist, shrug or bend, you use your latissimus dorsi.
1 A huge problem with the lat pull down is that some lifters can not isolate the lats and end up using their biceps to do a lot of the work. 2  To isolate the lats, use a wide grip and when you're pulling down, focus on your lats pulling inwards as they go down.Imagine them pulling down in a semi-circle motion. It's also common for some lifters to lean back and swing the weight down. This is cheating and will not get the maximum results from the lat pull down.o isolate the lats, use a wide grip and when you're pulling down, focus on your lats pulling inwards as they go down.
