Upper Body. The primary muscles in the upper body that are used when performing a golf swing are the shoulders and back muscles. As with all muscles involved in the swing, it is important for the upper-body muscles to be both fit and flexible.
Chest Muscles. The push-up exercise requires the recruitment of many muscles, but there are two primary movers. The chest muscles are the first primary movers and include your pectoralis major and minor. Imagine a Japanese hand fan rotated 90 degrees with the top of the fan pointing toward your sternum and the bottom of the fan pointing out to you upper arm bone -- the humerus.
