What is another word for pectorals?
Pronunciation: [pˈɛktəɹə͡lz] (IPA) 
Pectorals are commonly referred to as the chest muscles that can be found in both males and females. However, there are several synonyms that can be used to describe these muscles, such as chest muscles, chest wall muscles, pectoral muscles, or simply pecs. Another synonym used by bodybuilders is "breastplates," which may seem odd to those not familiar with the term, but it is related to the shape of the muscles when they are well-developed. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can also use the terms "pectoralis major" or "pectoralis minor" to indicate different aspects of the chest muscle group, depending on which specific area they are targeting with their workouts.
