Dumbbell Press: We all want a perfect bigger Chest. Well, most of us do. They look great in a fitted white t-shirt, look even better out of them, and help compliment a well-defined torso. Yes, some people will say exercising your Chest in isolation is stupid. We understand, but some days we just long for the pump. And you know what? There’s no shame in that.
The chest muscles are made up of the pectoralis major and, underneath that, the pectoralis minor. 1 Together they are often referred to as the “pecs.” The pectoralis major is the larger muscle and has two parts—an upper portion (called the clavicular head) and the lower portion (called the sternal head)

What are Chests?
The chest. In the human body, the region of the thorax between the neck and diaphragm in the front of the body is called the chest. The corresponding area in an animal can also be referred to as the chest. The shape of the chest does not correspond to that part of the thoracic skeleton that encloses the heart and lungs
Pectoralis muscle is any of the muscles that connect the front walls of the chest with the bones of the upper arm and shoulder. There are two such muscles on each side of the sternum (breastbone) in the human body: pectoralis major and pectoralis minor.
