Nicolas Lukas Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone! I think about this for a while now. I wonder, if the Latissimus and Pectoralis muscles can also act as somewhat (to some degree) humeral depressors, because they are the antagonist of the Deltoid (they resist the abduction force of the Deltoid). What do you guys think about that? Best wishes, Nicolas Lukas Edited February 19, 2017 by Nicolas Lukas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Hi Nicolas, you whould be worried not about this imbalance but from the posterior/anterior chain, the anterior delt when you perform the pushing movements of gymnastics strongly increase the anterior luxation of the upper arm, this it is amplified by the chest and latissimus dorsi . all these muscles work together more than what they work one against the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
