  1. greater pectoral muscle

    The greater pectoral muscle, commonly known simply as the pectoral muscle or "pec," is a large muscle in the upper chest, fanning across the chest from the shoulder to the breastbone. Its primary functions are to control the movement of the arm, specifically enabling the arm to move closer to the body, rotate, and move away from the body. It can be divided into the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles. This muscle is most commonly developed and strengthened through weightlifting and other forms of upper body strength training.
