The chest is a muscle group you might have heard referred to by one catchall name: the pectorals, a.k.a. The pecs. There are actually two muscles that make up your pecs, the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. The pectoralis major is larger, as the name implies, and is superior (or located above) to the pectoralis minor, is smaller and located below the pec major. The pec major is tasked with adduction of the arm (movement in toward the body) and rotation of the arm forward, along with assisting other muscles in pulling the trunk up when your arms are above your head. The pec minor helps to move your ribs and shoulders. The serratus anterior and subclavius are also chest muscles, which rotate the scapula and anchors and depresses the clavicle, respectively. The benefits of training your chest muscles aesthetics better posture increased strength your chest is a fairly large muscle group, so you'd be hard-pressed to ignore it. Still, the benefits of chest training are important to keep in mind: not only will a well-developed chest have aesthetic benefits in terms of how your shirts fit and how you'll look without one, you'll also see postural benefits (just make sure to balance out your chest day with back training, too). You'll also be stronger anytime you need to push or swing using your arms. 1.Stand tall with your feet together. 2.Hold the end of a towel or exercise band in each hand, with your arms behind your body. 3.Use the towel or band to help move your shoulder blades together and open your chest. This will cause you to look toward the ceiling. 4.Hold this pose for up to 30 seconds. 5.Repeat 3?5 times.
