The Gluteal Group: Tensor Fascia Lata, Gluteus Medius, Gluteus Maximus

This lesson is on the Gluteal Group, the three muscles that sit on the pelvis , the Tensor Fascia Lata, Gluteus Medius, Gluteus Maximus. The video covers the origin, insertion, function, and surface landmarks of the muscle group. This will help you draw the figure better!

The Scapula Group: Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Teres Major.

This lesson is on the three muscles that sit on the back of your scapula, the Infraspinatus, Teres Minor, and Teres Major. The video covers the origin, insertion, function, and surface landmarks of the muscle group. This will help you draw the figure better!

Torso Notes

Back and Back!

So…..the summer hiatus turned into an almost year long break of intense work, which doesn't seem to be slowing.  Instead of weekly posts I will upload new pages as I can fit I them in.  I hope you find these pages helpful and check back often to see whats new!

Erector Spinae

These last few muscles discussed (Erector Spinae, rectus abdominus, and the obliques) are the muscles that move the trunk.  We have so few muscles moving the trunk in comparison to the upper arm because the trunk has a much smaller range of motion.  It can basically bend forward, backward, side to side, and twist.  We sacrifice range of motion for stability.

Obliques

Rhomboids

All the muscles we have discussed up to this point (rhomboids, serratus, scapula group,  latissimus, deltoids, and pectoralis) are ones that move the upper arm (or the scapula which, by extension, moves the upper arm).  Why do so many muscles affect the upper arm?  Well, it is because we need a great range of motion to interact with our world so we have developed this complex system to give us movement and flexibility.  We will see other parts of the body have fewer muscles impacting them and usually will have a smaller range of motion.
