The rectus abdominis muscle, also known as the "abdominal muscles" or "abs", is a paired muscle running vertically on each side of the anterior wall of the human abdomen, as well as that of some other mammals. There are two parallel muscles, separated by a midline band of connective tissue called the linea alba. abs muscles Rectus Abdominis The muscle group that turns heads, of both interested ladies and envious guys. The rectus abdominus originates at the bottom of the sternum and inserts at the pelvis, and is responsible for pulling your knees up to your torso and vice versa. It's important to keep in mind that when we talk about training the upper and lower abs it's all part of the same muscle group, just different ends of it. External Obliques The external obliques run diagonally down the sides of your body, between your rectus abdominus and lats. They're the ones that give the torso that detailed look that indicates a well-conditioned athlete or contest-ready bodybuilder. The function of the external obliques is to twist the body from side-to-side, and therefore are utilized throughout every day, not to mention during every exercise that requires lateral stabilization. Serratus These are the fingerlike muscles you find running from your lats to the sides of your ribcage. Because of their positioning and connections, they need to be trained differently from the other muscle groups of the abdominal region.
