Muscles which flex the elbow joint such as the biceps brachii muscle, brachialis muscles and brachioradialis muscle are active to improve leverage. [1] As the biceps originate on the scapula unlike the other two which originate on the humerus, the biceps are inclined to serve a role as a dynamic stabilizer, much as the hamstrings would during a ...
Here’s the catch: Eating a ton of protein without doing the work (meaning: lifting weights) won’t build muscle—just like having tools but no construction. And lifting weights without enough ...
Cable curl: Hold the bar that is attached to a pulley at the lowest level in a standing position, step a foot back from the pulley to create a comfortable angle for this exercise. Keep the elbows to the side of the torso and shoulders are fixed, then raise the bar towards shoulder until biceps are fully contracted.
