Sounds like you're talking about your "lats", or latissimus dorsi muscles. The most direct gym exercise for them is the "lat pulldown," which is done on a rig where you have weight plates on a pulley. You pull a bar down and the weights go up. There's also a Nautilus machine with long handles that does the same thing.
