             RANGE OF MOTION and intro statement .
             The pectorals (pecs) are the chest muscles. In shape they are roughly large squares with rounded corners. They cover the upper part of the rib box. A large tendon attaches the pectoral muscle on each side to the humerus, (upper-arm bone). A pectoral contraction pulls via that tendon on the upper arm bone and draws it forward.
             In order to demonstrate pectoral function to yourself, raise your arms out to the sides and stiffen them. Now without dropping them, move your arms to the rear as far as possible. This is the starting position of the pectoral contractile function. Then slowly contract your pecs to pull your arms directly forward and toward each other, actually contracting so completely that your arms cross each other in front of your chest I have just demonstrated the full range of motion your arms can achieve as a result of pectoral contraction. (http://www.psychwatch.com/sport_psychology.htm ).
             Through correct selection of exercises, you can actually isolate stress to various portions of the pectorals. For example, presses with barbell which I will be performed on an incline bench will isolate stress on the upper pecs.
             The same movements done on a decline bench isolate stress on the lower and outer pectorals. And to place maximum stress on the inner pecs. The accumulation of movements performed from a variety of angles will ultimately give me the effect I m looking for.

             THE SCIENCE OF THE FLAT BARBELL PRESS.
             Emphasis "this is the most basic movement for the pectorals, and perhaps the best of all upper-body exercises. It places particular stress on the lower and outer pectorals, anterior deltoids, and triceps. Secondary stress is on the remainder of the chest muscle complex, medial deltoids, and those upper-back muscles that impart rotational movement to the scapulae. .
