upper abs
Top abdominal region
Upper abs refers to the upper portion of the rectus abdominis muscle, the paired vertical muscles running down the front of the torso.
Fitness culture treats upper and lower abs as distinct targets, though anatomically they're one muscle.
Exercises like crunches emphasize upper abs: My upper abs are sore from yesterday's workout.
