In my younger age I always want to have a bullet proof chest, a wide and thick pecs would describe it best. Many method I have learn and try but not all are correct or best suits my self/ many individual. Chest or Pectorals muscle divided into two area.
Anatomy
Pectoralis major - thick muscle situated at the front of chest of the body. It makes up the bulk of the chest muscles
Pectoralis minor - thin muscle situated at the upper part of the chest beneath the pectoralis major
Pec major located on the front of the rib cage, its insertion/ attach to the humerus proximal and originate near the shoulder joint (clavicle) and on the breastbone in the center of the chest (sternum). A fan like structure of the pecs allow the humerus to move in a variety of planes across the body.
Pec minor located underneath pec major attaching to corocoid process and originate on ribs 3 to 5.
Recommended exercise
Dumbbell Incline/ bench press
Cable Cross Over
Pec deck machine
Tips
- Most athlete would agree that dumbbell is the best equipment to use for this exercise due to it gives a larges range of motion and better squeeze
- When performing cable cross over, avoid bend/ slanting to forward because we do not want to use the body weight to support the weight. Cheating with big weight =
big muscle - Try to get the most stretch at the bottom of every rep and always squeeze at the top of every reps
