Imaginary Lat Syndrome

Imaginary Lat Syndrome is a condition that is not recognised by the medical or psychological propefssions. The syndrome manifests itself if someone, typically a male, believes they are rather muscular when in reality this isn't the case. Lat is short for 'latissimus dorsi' muscles in the bodybuilding world.

Those with Imaginary Lat Syndrome can typically be seen walking uncomfortably while flaring their small lat muscles and tensing their arms in an attempt to look 'muscled'. In reality, it appears silly and the person looks like a toothbrush has been shoved up their backside.

Manlets are at high risk of falling victim to this syndrome due to reasons of overcompensation.
