Lower Chest Exercises

Chest Muscle Groups

There is no head associated with the lower aspect of the pectoralis major but that does not detract from the necessity of having to use lower chest exercises specifically designed to target the lower chest. This leads to achieving complete pectoral development.

The lower chest muscles are responsible for providing the pectorals with a full, rounded visual appeal.

A list of lower chest exercises:

Bent-Forward Crossovers (Cable)
A minor variation on the standing cable crossovers, bent-forward crossovers target the lower aspect of the pectorals more, and require more control and concentration due to the shifted center of gravity caused by the performance stance.
