The spider curl is a bicep isolation exercise performed while lying chest-down on an incline bench set at approximately a 45-degree angle. This position allows the arms to hang freely in front of the body, maximizing range of motion and eliminating momentum, making it one of the most effective exercises for targeting the biceps brachii...
The shoulder shrug is fundamentally designed to develop the upper trapezius muscle, a large triangular muscle that extends from the base of the skull to the middle of the back and outward to the shoulders. This muscle plays a critical role in shoulder blade movement and stabilisation, making it essential for proper upper body function. The trapezius muscles are responsible for moving, rotating, and stabilising the shoulder blades....
Understanding both the anatomical structure of these chest muscles and the chest exercises that most effectively target them allows for optimized training approaches and improved muscular development. We have tried to comprehensively examine chest anatomy and provides a detailed analysis of exercises that effectively target these muscles through various movement patterns....
