UNDERSTANDING THE CHEST

The chest is made up of two muscles that work together to make the chest function. The muscle are the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. The pectoralis minor is located directly underneath the pectoralis major. Overall, these chest muscles start at the clavicle and insert at the sternum and the armpit area (humerous).

The three different functions of the chest muscles are the side arm pitching motion, the ability to bring your arm up and down at your sides, and the classic arm wresting motion. The basic recommended exercises for building up your chest include the bench press and flyes.
