The chest forms part of a larger group of \u201cpushing\u201d muscles in the upper body and is made up of three muscles: pectoralis major, minor and the serratus anterior.<\/p>\n
PECTORALIS MAJOR<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the larger of the chest muscles and is responsible for adduction of the arms, rotation of the arm forward and when the arms are raised in a fixed position (like you are wall climbing) it works with the teres major and the latissimus dorsi to pull your torso upwards.<\/p>\n PECTORALIS MINOR<\/strong><\/p>\n This muscle sits below the pectoralis major and it attaches into the scapula. It is responsible for pulling the shoulder forward and down.<\/p>\n SERRATUS ANTERIOR<\/strong><\/p>\n Also known as the \u201cboxer\u2019s muscle\u201d. Although it might not be a true chest muscle, it is classed in this group because of its attachment on the ribs near the pectoral muscles.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The chest forms part of a larger group of \u201cpushing\u201d muscles in the upper body and is made up of three muscles: pectoralis major, minor and the serratus anterior.
