The pecs are found attached to the humerus of the arm, right near where the shoulder joint is. The pecs then run across the front of the body and originate on the breastbone. The pectoralis major is attached to the front of the body on the rib cage. The pectoralis minor is found underneath the pectoralis major. It originates on the ribs and attaches up to the scapula, specifically at the coracoid process.

Alternate with the exercises I gave, you need to switch up your routine to shock your body. Try 4-5 exercises on your chest day

Imo if you're going to post up anatomical information and relate it to training you should go into more detail. It will also help you remember things when it comes to exam time. I'm not sure how detailed your course is, but I remember anatomy being hard to cram for due to the sheer volume of information.

Why not provide detailed yet succinct information for each muscle such as a brief overview, attachments, nerve supply, action, and functional activity.

What I mean is your first post doesn't really say anything about the pectoralis muscles other than vaguely describing their location. There is no mention of function, i.e. flexion (clavicular part, to horizontal only), extension (when humerus is flexed, sternocostal fibres), adduction and medial rotation at the shoulder joint.

The hard part is keeping things simple enough for anyone to understand without sacrificing details.

^Bro I'm a sophmore and I've been in the class for 4 months, I'm ganna need help and a lot of time to research it, if I do it.

Fair enough, I was just saying that there's not really anything in the first post that people won't already know. It just says that your pecs are in your chest and to do pressing and flying movements to work them.

I don't mean to be harsh so don't take this as a personal attack, I just don't see the purpose of these posts.

I'm not from the US, what's a sophmore?

[KM]

Well the purpose was for newbies. I'm in 10th grade in highschool.

And I do see this as a personal attack, I tried to help with the best of my knowledge. Maybe I am not as knowledged as I should be, that's where you kick in to add what needs to be added.

I really don't mean to offend you, but I suppose I have.

I just see the thread as a vague answer to a question that wasn't asked.

Thanks bud, very appreciated. I know my information was exactly correct, but this was simply from my knowledge. Tried my best.

You gotta wide with the grip, or you use too much tricept, and keep your upper arms perpindicular to your body. Trust me, I got some tig old bitties. Rock hard ones though.
