Unreferenced date July 2007 Beach muscles refer to a group of muscle s that lie on the front of the human body. These include the major muscles of the chest , Deltoid muscle shoulders , quadriceps , abdominals and biceps . The name comes from the fact that these muscles are commonly emphasized using a weight training weight or resistance training resistance training routine in order to look good in a situation where a shirt is not required or a bathing suit is worn, such as at the beach . In order to judge the muscle hypertrophy development of these muscles, a person will need to observe him or herself in a mirror .
