Latissimus dorsi don't function in pressing movements, the fibers are on the wrong side of the body for that to happen.
Elbow extension + shoulder adduction = pressing downwards.
Agonist: Latissimus Dorsi, synergists: Posterior deltoidis, long head of triceps, coracobrachialis, teres major.
You don't only press forward, or upwards..
