Hypertrophy anatomy course for trainers
·
Module 4
Chest Anatomy and Hypertrophy Application
1
Pectoralis Major: Divisions and Attachments
Describe the origin, insertion, and fiber direction of the clavicular (upper), sternal (mid), and costal (lower) divisions of the pectoralis major.
Pectoralis Major: Actions in Pressing & Fly Movements
Identify the joint actions of each pectoralis major division and its role in various pressing and fly movements.
Synergist Muscles in Horizontal Pressing: Anterior Deltoid and Triceps Brachii
Describe the role of the anterior deltoid and triceps brachii as primary synergists in horizontal pressing.
Pectoralis Major: Length and Shortness in Exercise
Explain the lengthened and shortened positions of the pectoralis major and select exercises that emphasize each.
5
Pectoral Anatomy and Exercise Mapping
Map specific exercises (e.g., incline press, flat fly, dip) to the anatomical function of each pectoral division.
6
Anatomical Analysis of Common Chest Training Mistakes
Analyze common chest training mistakes (e.g., excessive anterior deltoid dominance) from an anatomical perspective.
7
Anatomical Cueing for Pectoralis Activation
Apply coaching cues based on anatomical intent to improve pectoralis major activation during pressing and fly movements.
