@ben_yanes: You can think of the lats as a cable that wraps around the pulley of the ribcage. Loading your arm across your body will stretch the upper portions of the lats most, and loading your arm upward and across your face will stretch the lower portions of your lats the most. In relation to the video I used here: you’d probably want to drive the elbow toward the hip a bit more to be most specific to the lats (as opposed to the upper back) and you’d also likely want to use a resistance which pulls the arm more forward and across the face as opposed to downward toward the lower pecs (which you could do on this kind of row machine if you tilt your body more toward the floor). In any case, this will be a great movement for the upper lats as well as some of the upper back muscles - and I highly recommend seeing how you like it if you haven’t done something like it before!
