            Why don't you people ever research stuff instead of saying stupid shit?
            Everything below your ribcage and above your pelvis and then some is considered your core

                Nobody cares about your personal definition of "core" and it doesn't change the biomechanical fact that stronger lats will be advantageous for balance.

                then tell me why soccer players dont spam the frick out of pullups to get better "balance" then
                maybe you should coach them to tell them about this great discovery?

        The core job isn't balance, is stabilization of the spine to prevent rotation and side deviations during high intensity moves like sprinting.
        Lats and shoulders move you arms and the arm swing during sprints is what creates balance, even when you walk you lightly swing your opposite arm in synchrony with your legs because when you stand on one leg your body wants to shift your weight to the standing leg and the arm swing creates counter weight to make you move in a straight line.
        I know you don't play sports but the whole body functions as a unit during sports so lats are necessary for the arm swing wich is what creates balance during a sprint.
        Inb4 you argue more semantics, other anons aren't wrong about lats being part of the core or aiding balance but you most certainly are wrong about arguing that they aren't part of the core and don't help with balance specially when you don't even know how balance in the human body works.

          balance is stabilization
          and by your logic every muscle in the human body is part of the core
          you could make the same argument with fricking calves and dwell into the anatomy of it with some snarky "hehe i know you dont play sports but they're important" bs too

          but yeah im the moron even though i posted someone with overdeveloped lats wondering why he would need them to be overdeveloped, this is the missing link in this conversation

            >balance is stabilization
            No moron, balance is when you stand still, stability is when you are in movement, the difference is that you need more muscles working when you are in movement.
            >and by your logic every muscle in the human body is part of the core
            Never said that you single digit iq moron, my point is to point the functions of muscles.
            >you could make the same argument with fricking calves and dwell into the anatomy of it with some snarky "hehe i know you dont play sports but they're important" bs too
            That's called kinetic chain, as a matter of fact the entire posterior chain wich happens to include the lats and core work more during sports.
            >but yeah im the moron even though i posted someone with overdeveloped lats wondering why he would need them to be overdeveloped, this is the missing link in this conversation
            And i answered that question but you keep barking at the wrong tree.

    Extra upper body mass is advantageous for muscling past defenders/winning headers, and he'd probably rather it was in his lats than his stomach.

    Nothing really. Ronaldo just has an autistic devotion to training

    >Patrice Evra has told told fellow pundits that if you are invited over to Cristiano Ronaldo's house, you should say no.

    >"He said, 'Patrice, come over after training.' I went. You know I was really tired, [and] at the table there was only salad and plain white chicken so I was like, okay - and water - not any juice," Evra said. "And we started eating and I was thinking some big meat would be coming after that but there was nothing."

    >"He just finished and he stood up and he started playing with a ball, doing some skills and he said, 'Let's do some two-touch'."

    Lol.
    Btw even when standing still the core alone isn't the only thing working for balance, hope this isn't confusing.

      my toes are working to keep me in balance too
      maybe understanding that there's a difference between main core muscles which most people refer to as core and "minor-core" muscles is key here
      hope this isn't confusing

        "Part of" doesn't mean no difference.
