  • This video just gives terrible information. It originates in the lower back and inserts at the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus (not on the scapula). The teres minor originates on the axillary (lateral) border of the scapula and inserts on the greater tubercle of the humerus. In this video, you claim it's between the vertebral column and the vertebral (medial) border of the scapula. At :55 you claim they have the same point of origin which is just plain wrong. Just bad information.

  • And the Terres...come on dude. Basic anatomy. You were not even close. You were working the rhomboids. Get under the arm pit area where you belong.WOW

  • Lats insert on lesser tubercle of the humerus, not the scapula. Without properly explaining this, he misses the point of really treating it for the athlete as LD affects movement of the shoulder joint (not the shoulder girdle).

  • Im a Massage Student therapy student and I Love your Vids. and um the latissimus dorse is actually inserts on the Floor of intertubercular groove of the humerus. But as he was saying the scapula because its more superficial(visible) maybe.

  • thanks for clearing that up lolol13

  • I swim, pulling your latissimus dorsi hurts like HELL

  • it inserts itself into both of them saying the scapula pretty much also means the humerous

  • i believe the latissimus dorsi inserts in the humerous, not the scapula
