In The Spotlight
Outnumbered
If you started to do something, then someone came up to you and expressed strong doubts about your ability to accomplish it, your confidence would likely be eroded. And just imagine what would happen if, after that, twenty more people came and offered the same negative opinion.

If you like How to Box, please take a moment and help me out by filling out one of these offers. It will generate some much needed cash so I can continue adding content, and maybe even get a 'real boxer' to make videos for the site in a production setting instead of my basement. Anyways, if you can spare a minute, please do.

here are three muscles that make-up your buttocks: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus is the biggest and most noticeable of the three. The medius and minimus aren't as noticeable--both are located around your ilium, the large bony part of the pelvis. Together these three muscles help you move your thigh out to the side of your body (abduction), as well as rotate and extend your leg behind you. A strong buttocks helps in most all explosive/power activities, such as football, basketball, and hiking.

Your abdominals, commonly called abs, consist of several muscle groups, all located in the midsection, just below your chest to your pubic bone. These include: rectus abdominis which is made up of upper, middle, and lower abs; transverse abdominis; and the obliques. The upper, middle and lower abs start near the middle of your sternum and runs vertically to the lower part of the pelvis; they are responsible for flexing the vertebral column or helping you curl your trunk as you would when doing crunches or sitting up in bed.

The chest muscles are made up of the pectoralis major and the pectoralis minor. The pectoralis major is the bigger of the two and spans most of the clavicle and sternum and attaches to the upper arm. It has several important functions at the shoulder: flexion, adduction (towards body), and medial (inward) rotation. The pectoralis minor is a thin triangular muscle that lies beneath the pectoralis major and is responsible for similar functions. Your chest is helpful in contact sports that require a lot of pushing such as football and rugby.

The forearms are the muscles between the elbow and the wrist. The forearms consist of three smaller muscle groups: brachioradialis, flexors', and extensors'. The brachioradialis and extensors make up the front part of the forearms and help to extend or move the back of your hand toward your forearm; they also help to extend your fingers. Your flexors make up the back or underside (inner part) of your forearms; they flex or move your palm toward your forearm and help to move your fingers. Your forearms control most of your gripping strength and help with activities like swinging a golf club or baseball bat, throwing a ball or climbing; your forearms also help with fine motor skills such as drawing or playing a piano.

What people commonly refer to as the biceps are actually two distinct muscles: the biceps brachii and the brachialis. Both muscles run along the front of the upper arm, from the shoulder to the elbow. The biceps brachii is responsible for the ball-like "head" on your biceps; the brachalis is the larger of the two, located underneath the biceps brachii. Both muscles that make up the biceps help flex your elbow. In addition, the biceps brachii helps to supinate your forearm. This is very helpful in swinging a racquet in sports like racquetball and tennis.
