Fun body fact:
Ever wonder why you are taller in the morning? When standing, the entire weight of your trunk, head and arms is transferred into the bodies of your vertebrae. Between your vertebrae you have intervertebral discs made up of a tough outer fibrous layer and fluid inner layer. As the vertebrae compress during the day with activity some of the fluid layer is squeezed out. When asleep, the pressure is relieved from the spine and the discs restore to their full thickness again, hence why you could be taller than the night before.

Fun body fact:  How about those pipes?! Most people know that the Biceps Brachii (biceps) help bend your elbow, but did you know that your biceps is also responsible for supinating the forearm (opening your palm to face up)? AND it is actually your Brachialis (the muscle under the biceps) that is the primary mover in elbow flexion.

Fun body fact: Everyone is familiar with the strong chest muscle the Pectoralis Major (pec major), but did you know that you have a Pectoralis Minor (pec minor)? Its primary job is to help elevate your ribs when you inhale. The major vessels and nerves for your arm also run under the pec minor. Apical (shallow) breathing and tight chest muscles can affect the movement, strength and sensations in the ribcage and arms like hands/ arms ‘falling asleep’, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome symptoms etc.
