FACTS ABOUT OUR BODY, EXERCISES AND INJURIES

MISCELLANEOUS FACTS

Ø Beginners should  always start their training  with machines, because machines provide correct range of motion to the muscle and hence protect  from any kind of injury.

Ø Spot reduction is  impossible. it means  neither gaining nor reduction can be done  on a particular area of  our body.

Ø E-Z curl bar provides  ergonomically  better  position than straight bar, during biceps curls.

Ø For inclined bench press, the bench should be positioned at 30 degrees from the horizontal.

Ø For declined bench press, the bench should be at 15 degrees declined position from the horizontal.

Ø Exhale, during the positive phase of repetition and inhale during the negative phase of repetition.

Ø Most flexible as well as unstable joint of our body is shoulder rotator cuff joint (gleno-humeral joint).

Ø R.I.C.E  treatment processes should be done only for first 48 to 72 hours of injury.

Ø Antioxidants are  the  best solution to look young.

Ø There are two most injury prone joints in human body

1.   Spine

2.   Shoulder rotator cuff

CHEST MUSCLES ANATOMY

CHEST ANATOMY

Chest muscles can be divided into 3 separate parts

Ø The Pectoral Major

Ø The Pectoral Minor

Ø The Anterior Serratus

THE PECTORAL MAJOR

The Pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle, situated at the chest (anterior) of the human body. It contributes maximum part of whole chest .Workout Targeting the Pectoral Major develops a amazing  toned up chest muscles .

Pectoralis major muscle tears are an uncommon sporting injury, most commonly seen in Power lifters, wrestlers, rugby and American football players. The injury is characterized by pain in the chest wall and loss of strength of the muscle.

AREA : The attachment of the cartilage of the sixth or seventh rib

THE PECTORAL MINOR

The Pectoralis minor is a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper part of the chest, beneath the Pectoralis major in the human body.It doesn’t contribute much part of the chest but for complete and good shape of chest, its training must not be neglected. You can exercise it without much additional effort because nearly every workout that engages the Pectoralis major also works the Pectoralis minor.

AREA: It arises from the upper margins and outer surfaces of the third, fourth, and fifth ribs.

THE ANTERIOR SERRATUS

The Anterior Serratus inserts along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula(shoulder blades).It basically aids in the upward movement of our. The Anterior Serratus is occasionally called the "big swing muscle" or "boxer's muscle" because  it is largely responsible for the protraction of the scapula — that is, the pulling of the scapula forward and around the rib cage that occurs when someone throws a punch.

The Anterior Serratus also plays an important role in the upward rotation of the scapula, such as when lifting a weight overhead. It performs this in synchronous with the upper and lower fibers of the trapezius muscles.

  

AREA: It originates by nine or ten slips from either the first to ninth ribs or the first to eighth ribs.
