Major Muscle Groups

Note: Decided to lost fat and get lean. Take up some PT session. My PT told me that there are 7 major muscle groups. However, who would have taken notes during PT session. Hence, I did a search on the internet to get a better picture for my own revision. And these is how I have grouped it. Reference at your own risk.

  1. Deltoids (Shoulder)
    • Anterior Deltoid (front of shoulder)
    • Lateral Deltoid (side of shoulder)
    • Posterior Deltoid (back of shoulder)
  2. Biceps (upper arm front)
  3. Triceps (upper arm back)
  4. Pectoralis (Chest)
  5. Back
    • trapezius muscles (traps, back)
    • latissimus dorsi (lats, midback)
  6. Abdominal (Abs)
  7. Gluteus maximus (buttocks) 
  8. Legs
    1. Quadriceps (tight front)
