Muscles > Back > Upper Back > Teres major

Part of the Upper Back muscle group
Location The sides of the upper back, in the armpit area, above and in front of the latissimus dorsi
Action Pulls the upper arms down, helps pull the upper arms back
Notes The teres major plays a part in exercises which targets the lats. Its location above the lats, along with the teres minor further above, mean it can be mistaken for part of the latissimus dorsi rather than a separate muscle.
