No, their actual argument is:
> Now, if you doubt your arms are on the front of your body, stand in front of a mirror and raise your arms -in their most comfortable position over your head-…where are your armpits? If you’re like every other human on the planet, your armpits are facing you, dead center. If your arms really were on the sides of your body (the way sleeves and armholes are cut) you’d have to turn sideways to see your armpits.
Which is a load of bollocks. It doesn't take more than a minute or two of studying anatomy diagrams to see that. Are they centered horizontally like a lego figure when viewed from the side so they bisect the volume? No, in fact the shoulder joint is BEHIND most of the volume in the torso when viewed from the side; so the humerus hangs roughly in line with the spine. Most of the rib cage(and pecs), abdominal cavity, and etc are forward the head of the humerus.
The real reason the you can see your arm pits when you lift your arms over your head? The insertion point for the pecs in the humerus draws closer to the mid-line as the arm is externally rotated and raised while at the same time the scapula is rotated up and out pushing the lateral border and all the meat away from the mid-line. Effectively the front wall of the "pit" collapses exposing the built up back wall.

I mean.. That's a primary ingredient in the spread of broscience isn't it? The credibility "results" lends to bullshit? cough supplement industry cough.
