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.
Jim Brown June 26, 2009. The pectoralis (pec) muscles are large, highly visible muscles located on each side of the chest. Their primary job is help the shoulders and arms move and lift. When you perform a push-up or chest fly, you are activating the pecs. Because they are among the strongest muscles in the body, they are less likely to be strained (pulled), but it can happen. Dave Cruz. Grade 1 strains involve a few torn muscle or tendon fibers.
