A close grip bench press is primarily designed to work your pectoralis minor and anterior deltoid?

No, close-grip targets your triceps. You won't really target anterior deltoid that well with any type of bench press other than one on a big incline. Use the shoulder press for deltoids.

What muscles are involved in horizontal flexion?
The muscles that horizontally flex the shoulder are the Pectoralis Major and the coracobrachialis.
Which of the following muscles is an antagonist in an upright row?
Pectoralis Major
What is the antagonist of the anterior deltoid muscle?
The antagonist of teres minor is: To medial rotation: latissimus dorsi, long head of triceps, pectoralis major, subscapularis. In Extension of humerus: latissimus dorsi, posterior deltoid and long head of triceps
What is the Prime mover for abduction?
the supraspinatus ...I think Deltoid muscle(acromial part)
What is the prime mover push up?
Pectoralis major, deltoid, triceps brachii, coracobrachialis, serratus anterior, external and internal obliques, rectus abdominis and the transverse abdominis are all used in push ups. The pectoralis major and the triceps are the prime movers.
What muscles involved in shoulder joint adduction act as fixators?
The muscles that perform adduction to the shoulder include the pectoralis major, lattissimus dors, but these are the primary movers. The fixators that do adduction are the subscapularis and teres major.
What muscles cause horizontal adduction in the shoulder?
The major muscles involved in horizontal adduction or flexion is the anterior deltoid fibres, pectoralis major and minor. Bicep complex(bbicep brachii, brachioradialis and forearm flexor) comes into action as synergists, if the leverage is long.The antagonists of horizontal flexion is posterior deltoid fibres,teres major, minor, lats and the associated rotator cuff muscle(infraspinatus)
Which of the muscle is the largest chest muscle?
shoulder: deltoid. Chest: Pectoralis major
Muscles involved in shoulder girdle abduction?
Supraspinatus muscle (first 20 degrees), Medial Deltoid (beyond 20 degrees). This is the reason why many weight lifters, performing Lateral Shoulder Raises 'bounce' or 'flick' the weight at the beginning of the movement when fatigued or the load is too heavy - to circumvent the weak suprasinatus
