Pectorals Major
Primary Function: flexion, adduction, internal rotation at the shoulderExercises: push-ups, pull-ups, incline bench press, regular bench press, climbing arope, all types of throwing, tennis serve
Pectorals Minor
Primary Function: abduction, downward rotation, and depression of the scapula at theshoulderExercises: flys, chest dips
Deltoids
Primary Function: abduction (entire deltoid), flexion/internal rotation (anterior),extension/external rotation (posterior)Exercises: lateral “butterfly” (abduction) exercises with dumbbellsNote: anterior deltoid has similar functions to pectoralis major
Trapezius
Primary Function: elevation of scapula (upper), adduction of scapula (middle), depression ofscapula (lower)Exercises: upright rowing, shoulder shrugs with resistance
Latissimus Dorsi
Primary Function: extension, adduction, internal rotationExercises: chin-ups, rope-climbing, dips on parallel bars, rowing, “lat” pull-downs
