Discovering muscles you never knew you had...

After yesterday's workout, my armpit muscles are sore. That's what every woman wants from her workout routine, right? Toned armpits.

Consultation of anatomy texts suggests that the culprit is something called the coracobrachialis. Hello, coracobrachialis, I'm so pleased to meet you. Please mingle with the usual gang of complainers: tibialis anterior, gluteus medius, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, and the deltoid gang.

Okay, does anyone else think that "Pectoralis Major and the Deltoid Gang" would make a great band name?

I thought Pectoralis Major was a constellation.

I imagine "Pectoralis Major and the Deltoid Gang" as being a scratch skiffle group made up of medical students. (Possibly Greg House played in it as a young'un?)

I like that idea!

I'd pay money just to see "The Deltoid Gang". I envision them as bodybuilders who secretly write soulful ballads and folk songs. Occasionally, they'd sing about their hard lives on the streets, and how fitness took them away from bad influences. :D

Oh, I like the idea of soulful bodybuilder folk too. That needs to exist somewhere.
