	Rhomboid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In geometry, a rhomboid is a parallelogram in which adjacent sides are of unequal lengths and angles are oblique.
		The word Rhomboid which means rhom-like was commonly used in the 19th century for a parallelogram which was neither a rectangle nor a rhombus.
		Euclid never uses the definition of rhomboid again and introduces the word parallelogram in Proposition 31 of Book I; "In parallelogrammic areas the opposite sides and angles are equal to one another, and the diameter bisects the areas." Heath suggests that rhomboid was an older term already in use.

	Rhomboid major muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Acting with the rhomboid minor, both muscles retracts the scapula and rotates it to depress the glenoid cavity.
		The rhomboid major is a muscle on the back that connects the scapula with the vertebrae of the spinal column.
		The rhomboid major arises from the spinous processes of the the thoracic vertebrae T2 to T5 as well as the supraspinous ligament.

		Acting with the rhomboid major, both muscles retracts the scapula and rotates it to depress the glenoid cavity.
		It is inserted into the base of the triangular smooth surface at the root of the spine of the scapula, and is usually separated from the Rhomboideus major by a slight interval, but the adjacent margins of the two muscles are occasionally united.

		The muscles of the abdomen are divided into two groups: the front and flank muscles and the rear deep interior muscles.
		This muscle is located at the back and side of the neck, attaching itself to the spine at the neck and to the top inner border of the shoulder blade.
		These muscles are usually active during exercises that involve pushing (e.g., bench press) or during movements in which you are pulling your arms across the front of your body (e.g., chest fly).

		The rhomboid is a relatively small muscle located underneath the trapezius, and the pectoralis minor is a small muscle lying directly underneath the pectoralis major on the front of the chest.
		These shoulder-girdle muscles attach to the scapula (shoulder blade) from their base on the spine except for the pectoralis minor, which originates on the ribs.
		The farther your elbows move to the rear, the greater the scapular adduction and involvement of the middle trapezius, rhomboid and upper latissimus dorsi.
