The Chest And Upper Back
07/28/07
by Rick Mitchell
Becoming familiar with the
muscles that make up your body has more benefits than simply allowing
you to talk shop with your training partners. The more familiar you
are with the muscles you're working, the better you'll be able to
judge what's needed to make improvements. In this article we'll get to
know the muscles that make up the chest and upper back. About the Author

Although they are two distinct areas, the chest and the upper back
will be considered together because achieving a muscular balance
between them is crucial, particularly in relation to maintaining good
posture. Creating an imbalance between the two is likely to result in
injury.
The main muscles found in the chest and uper back are
as follows:
1. Pectoralis major - these are the large chest
muscles found to either side of the breastbone. Its main job is to
bring the upper arm inwards across the body, a movement that is known
as horizontal adduction.
2. Latissimus dorsi - this is the
largest back muscle that runs from the lower back to the upper arm
bone. It pulls the upper arm towards the body and acts as an internal
rotator of the upper arm.
3. Trapezius - this muscle runs from
the mid spine to the shoulder and then to the neck. Its main role is
to faciltiate movement of the shoulder blades.
