2. Which muscle is directly targeted during the pec-deck?
a. deltoids
b. pectoralis major
c. triceps brachii: ANSWER:
b. pectoralis major

tension increases within a muscle, discharge of the GTOsincreases. They inhibit a motor neuron when
muscle tension increases, and this inhibition is thought to provide a mechanism that protects against the
developmentof excessive tension.
