Default The Major and Minor Pecs


This always drives me crazy, i'm trying hard to remember all the muscles on my body.

and i was wondering if the pec major is at the top of the chest and pec minor the lower pecs?

Not quite. Check out these pages:

Pectoralis Major
Clavical Head, http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/PectoralisClavicular.html
Sternal Head, http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/PectoralisSternal.html

Pectoralis Minor, http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/PectoralisMinor.html

Developing the Clavical Head gives the top of the chest width. Developing the Sternal Head gives the bottom of the pecs mass. Developing the Pec Minor helps to give the Clavical Head the appearance of more mass. By working these three muscles individually you can "shape" your chest.

exrx.net is a great resource for these kind of questions.
