In this video, Lee Hayward, a muscle building coach, addresses a question from Christopher about exercises targeting the serratus muscles. He explains that while serratus muscles are small stabilizers on the torso’s side and not a primary muscle group like chest or legs, they can still be developed with specific exercises.<\/p>\n

Lee highlights that most major compound exercises indirectly work these smaller muscles, but for direct serratus activation, certain movements are more effective. He emphasizes the role of serratus muscles in protracting the shoulders, meaning exercises that involve bringing the arms forward, like PEC deck flies, can engage these muscles.<\/p>\n
