Body Building: Understanding Anatomy

If you want to be an expert bodybuilder you will have to make an effort to understand your
body’s anatomy. In order to build your muscles adequately you will have to know exactly where
each of them are located and how they might be developed successfully. This might sound easy
but it is hardly a walk in the park, especially because of the often unpronounceable names of
the muscles.

In order to know your muscles closely therefore locate a mirror and try and find each of the
muscles on your body on your own. Let’s begin with the neck. In your neck area there are two
basic muscles you can concentrate on during your bodybuilding routine. These are the upper
trapezius and the levator scapulae. The first one is the muscle that runs down from your nape to
your shoulder.

The latter runs parallel to the initial cervical vertebrae in your neck.

The trapezius, fondly called the trap muscles climb down the nape of your neck and around the
waist on both sides of the spine. On your shoulders you will find the deltoid muscles, also called
the delts. On the front part of the shoulder is the anterior delt, on the side is the middle delt and
on the back is the posterior delt. Just under the anterior delt you will find the rotator cuff muscles
running straight out from the armpit area.

On the chest are your pectorals or pecs. On your arms you will find 2 different types of muscles,
the bicep and the tricep. The triceps run down the side part of your arm from the shoulder till the
elbow while the biceps run along the inside part. Both muscles are quite distinct on the
forearms.

Your abdominal muscles or abs are located right on your stomach area.

On your legs you shall find the quadriceps muscles or the quads immediately in the front. The
rest of the leg muscles are located on the back, on your calves i.e. the lower part of your legs.
Yet another muscle, called the hamstring is located on your upper leg.

Yet other important groups of muscles include the glutes on your bum and the lats located on
the upper part of your back. On your lower back you will also find the lower trap muscles.

Just like a sculptor ought to know both the material he/she is working on as well as the strokes
he/she will be producing on it you, as a bodybuilder must also know your body (or your material)
and your exercise regime (or your strokes) intricately. Knowledge regarding both of these
essential factors is absolutely necessary for all bodybuilders. Unless you know your muscles
like the back of your hand you will not be able to engage them and develop them adequately.
Hence, begin your bodybuilding regime with a conscious effort to identify each of the important
muscles on your body.

Concentrate on each or a group of them at a given time. Figure out how you want to shape your
body in terms of the muscles you need to exercise and go about your workout accordingly.
