White Cell stretch targets which muscle group?

• A. Rear Delts
• B. Triceps
• C. Chest Opener
• D. Tai Chi

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing which shoulder muscle is lengthened by the specific arm position of the stretch. In the White Cell stretch, the arm moves across the body and the elbow is guided toward the opposite shoulder. This places the shoulder in horizontal adduction with a bit of internal rotation while the scapula stays stable. That combination specifically lengthens the posterior portion of the deltoid—the rear delts—more than other shoulder muscles, making them the primary target. If you think about the alternatives, the triceps would be stretched with an overhead or elbow-extension position, the chest opener mainly lengthens the pectoral muscles across the front of the chest, and Tai Chi is a form of movement rather than a single muscle group being targeted.
