Recent studies have shown that as surprising as it may sound, decline is the most effective angle for training the entire chest area, including its upper fibers.

That being said, the trapezius muscles are comprised of upper, middle and lower fibers, even though the upper fibers usually get all the love because they are most visible from the front.

The maximum activation of the upper fibers of the latissimus dorsi happens when the hands are pulled towards the axilla from their starting position which is above shoulder height.

To begin, set the bench to a slight incline (this allows for more emphasis to be placed on the upper fibers of the pecs) and take a dumbbell in each hand.

In fact, the upper fibers need the coordinated assistance of the middle and lower fibers in order to elevate the scapula, but even then, they can't do the job without coordinating their work with the work of the serratus anterior muscle which covers the side of your rib cage.

During a pull - up, the upper fibers of the trapezius are responsible for pulling the clavicle upwards, while the middle fibers pull the scapula towards the vertebrae.

The upper fibers of the large trapezius of the upper back run all along the posterior base of the skull and the cervical vertebrae of the neck, attaching to the lateral part of the clavicle and along the spine of the scapula.

Now, according to research, because of the angle and orientation of the upper fibers of the trapezius muscle, it is almost impossible for this muscle to produce any significant elevation of the shoulder blades when the arm is in a neutral position.

It's good for triceps, the upper fibers of your pec major, and anterior (front) delts.

The upper fibers pull your shoulder blades up.

The upper fibers that originate at the level of the cervical spine insert on the lateral third of the clavicle.

Further, the upper fibers appeared to contribute the greatest force potential during lateral bending of the three regions of the trapezius.

The upper fibers tend to be slightly less pennated and shorter, while the lower fibers appear to be more pennated and display longer fascicle lengths.

The upper fibers of the gluteus maximus produce the most abduction and external rotation, and the lower fibers produce the most extension; so if you contract your gluteal region in backbends, you should focus on tightening the lower half and keeping the upper half soft.

In addition to hip extension, the gluteus maximus also assists other muscles in the region to produce hip external rotation, and the upper fibers can produce hip abduction against resistance.

The gluteus maximus produces a number of joint actions, including: hip extension, trunk extension, posterior pelvic tilt, hip external rotation, hip abduction (upper fibers), force closure of sacroiliac joint, force transfer through the ITB, and even force transfer through the tensor fascia latae.

Since the upper fibers have a greater abductor moment arm, this seems logical.

In addition, it seems likely that the gluteus maximus can also produce hip external rotation, hip abduction (upper fibers), force closure of sacroiliac (SI) joint, force transfer through the ITB, and even force transfer through the tensor fascia latae.
