I wasn't original going to do the origin and insertion of these muscles now. However, I am putting it in here because I have a project to do for work. Which I will tell you about at a later date. It involves a video and I am a little anxious about it as I am still learning all this!!!!!!! But is there any other way to learn, other than getting in there and just DOING it!
