Chest Muscles Explained

by Jan 15, 2021Fitness0 comments

Your chest muscle is made up of the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor.

Which is why they’re often abbreviated as pecs.

This muscle group spreads across from your shoulders to the breast bone.

The pectoralis major Is as you might have guessed the bigger of the two and helps flex the shoulder joint, while moving your arm toward and across the chest.

The pectoralis minor is smaller and found underneath the pectoralis major.

Its job is to help pull the Shoulder forward and down.

As you probably know there are countless chest exercises.

So for now I will stick with the most common and important ones.

For compound exercises we have the barbell bench press which you can do normal so flat, incline and decline dumbbell bench press.

Again normal incline and decline push ups and chest dips.

These trained not only a chest but also triceps and shoulders.

Chest isolation exercises include the pec deck dumbbell flys and cable flys.

As a beginner I suggest you focus on barbell and dumbbell bench pressing and build up strength over time.

A common mistake is to do dozens of sets of isolation exercises especially cable flights because they look cool.

So when you see someone at the gym hogging the cable tower,

because they need to hit their chest from multiple angles,

you can usually tell that they have no idea what they’re doing.

Muscle Hypertrophy Explained

Muscle growth is a fascinating subject and chances are you want some yourself.

You probably know that to get your body to build new muscle tissue a few things need to happen.

Most importantly you need to create a stimulus for example through weight training and you also need to provide your body with the right building blocks to create new tissue like calories and enough protein.

But what exactly happens in your body when you have these things covered.

We know from studies that skeletal muscle tissue is the most adaptable tissue in the human body.

And even though we still haven’t figured out every last aspect of muscle growth it is a well researched topic that can help you improve your fitness routine.

So to help you understand the whole process we have to start with the basics.

Your muscles don’t actually grow during the workout.

Biceps Explained

The biceps with its full name being biceps brachii is called that way because it has two heads.
Both heads of the muscle arise on the scapula and join to form a single muscle belly which is attached to the upper forearm.
As you probably already know the biceps acts to flex the elbow and pretty much every guy wants bigger biceps.
