Shoulder Adductor Muscles? What are the muscles involved in shoulder elevation? The muscles involved in elevating the shoulder girdle (e.g. shrugging your shoulders) are the upper fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and rhomboid minor.
The pectoralis muscles -- major and minor -- attach your ribs to the front of your upper arm. These muscles lift your arm forward, bring it in toward your body and rotate your shoulder inward. The coracobrachialis is a deep muscle on the front of your upper arm that moves your arm forward.
