It's game time out here. Muscle Monday is taking a look at an essential muscle for all levels of performance that is far too often overlooked. This is the famous boxing punching muscle that shows its rigid teeth along the rib cage. It sure packs a punch!

*Disclaimer: In the episode I was unclear about the nerve root contribution of the long thoracic nerve. It receives its supply from the levels of C5, C6, and C7.
