Muscles (Anterior)
Deltoid.
Definition: The Deltoid allows the
shoulder to move in many different
directions.
Function: The Deltoid has three
movements/functions. The Deltoid flexes
(decreased angle of the joint) , abducts
(makes arm move away from center of the
body) and extends (increased angle of the
join) the arm.
Exercises: -Front Dumbbell raises.
-Seated lateral raises.
-Alternate dumbbell press
-Military press

adduct (bring closer to the center of the
body) and flex the shoulder joint.
Exercises: -Bench Press
-Incline Press
-Dumbbell Pullover
-Cable Crossover

Description: The Biceps Brachii is the
most recognized muscle of the body.
Function: The Biceps Brachii works
with the Triceps to bend or extend the
elbow.
Exercises: -Dumbbell Curl
-Barbell Curl
-Concentration Curl
-Preacher Curl
