Let’s study about the Chest Anatomy
The chest is generally made up of two muscles i.e. pectoralis major and pectoralis minor.
Pectoralis minor: It usually lies under the pectoralis major and is much smaller triangular
shaped muscle, which stabilizes the action of scapula.
Pectoralis major: It is a large fan shaped muscle located on the front of the chest. It usually
originates from both the sternum and the clavicle and inserts into the humerus. This muscle is
generally responsible for flexing the humerus as well as adducting and medially rotating.

decline. Then unrack the weight and lower the barbell until it makes contact with
lower chest, upper abdominal region. Again, you will need to keep the elbows
