Anatomy
Biceps
The muscles on the front of the upper arm responsible for elbow flexion.
The biceps brachii has two heads: the long head and short head. They flex the elbow and supinate the forearm (turning palm up). While biceps are popular to train, they are a relatively small muscle group. Compound pulling movements like rows and pull-ups work the biceps, while curls provide isolation work.
Examples
- Barbell curls for overall bicep mass
- Incline curls stretch the long head
- Hammer curls work brachialis too
