Muscle identification
Well known muscle group on the front part of your upper arm.
What are Biceps?
Cage like set of bones that protects vital organs
The ribs
The chest and triceps perform this mechanical action when you move a weight away from your body.
Pushing/Extension
Doing traditional push-ups primarily targets this large chest muscle group.
The pecs
A baseball pitcher throwing a fastball or a quarterback throwing a deep pass relies on a powerful, explosive rotation of this multi-directional joint
The shoulder
Large muscle located on your chest.
What are the pecs
This connects your breast bone to your shoulder blade
The collar bone | For 100 bonus points what is the anatomical name of this bone
Bringing your arms back down to your sides after a jumping jack is an example of this anatomical action, which moves a limb toward the body's midline.
Adduction
Performing a standard pull-up with an overhand grip targets the lats, but switching to a underhand grip shifts a massive amount of the work to this famous arm muscle
The Bicep
Swimmers performing the butterfly stroke or the front crawl heavily rely on this massive back muscle group to pull their bodies through the water
The lats
A three-part muscle group.
The triceps
This long bone runs from your shoulder to your elbow, forming the structure of your upper arm.
The Humerus
This type of joint, found in both the shoulder and the hip, allows for the widest range of circular movement in the human body.
Ball and socket joint
Pull-ups are famous for building upper body width because they directly isolate this muscle
The lats
In gymnastics, executing a rigid iron cross on the rings requires extreme static strength from the biceps, shoulders, and this large chest muscle group
Pecs
A wing shaped muscle group.
What are the lats
When someone refers to their "shoulder blade," they are using the layman's term for this flat, triangular bone.
The scapula
Moving your arms sideways away from the centerline of your body—like raising dumbbells out to your sides—is known by this anatomical term.
Abduction
Shrugging your shoulders upward against resistance heavily isolates the upper portion of this large back muscle
The traps
Professional rock climbers develop exceptional grip endurance due to highly trained flexor muscles located in this specific part of the lower arm
The forearm
A fan shaped muscle, used in pushups, nicknamed the “boxers muscle”
The Serratus
This group of four small muscles and their tendons stabilizes the shoulder joint and keeps the head of your upper arm bone firmly in its socket.
The rotator cuff
Muscles work in pairs; while the bicep acts as the agonist during a curl, the tricep plays this opposing role by relaxing and lengthening.
Antagonist
To target the brachialis and brachioradialis—muscles that add thickness to the lower arm and outer bicep—lifters switch to this specific "tool-named" curl grip
The hammer curl
Boxers throwing a powerful jab rely on this fan-shaped muscle on the side of the ribs to forcefully push the shoulder blade forward at the end of the punch
The Serratus
