Biceps Workout Tip
Tips and reviews of the most effective chest workouts.
In human anatomy, the biceps brachii (simply biceps in common parlance) is a muscle located on the upper arm. The biceps has several functions, the most important being to rotate the forearm (supination) and to flex the elbow.
Barbell Curl
Biceps Workout
Target Muscle
Biceps Brachii, the biceps. Your focus is to emphasize your biceps since you cannot realistically isolate any muscle in the body during free weight workout.
Synergist Muscles
Muscles that help the biceps are Brachialis and Brachioradialis. The development of these muscles will give the front and lower part of your arms as well as your forearms a fuller look. We will discuss these muscles later.
Stabilizers
These stabilizing muscles are there to basically help you keep the correct form, but if you engage them too much or emphasize them by incorrect form, they will take the load off your biceps. The stabilizers for barbell curl are: Anterior Deltoid, upper and middle Trapezius, Levator Scapulae.
If you move your elbow forward, you engage the Anterior Deltoid, if you begin to shrug, you engage the Trapezius. A good Barbell Curl means keep your elbows to on your sides and keep your shoulder neutral.
