The biceps or biceps brachii (Latin: musculus biceps brachii, "two-headed muscle of the arm") is a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Both heads of the muscle arise on the scapula and join to form a single muscle belly which is attached to the upper forearm.
Muscles are often paired as agonistic and antagonistic muscles. [20] This can be a bit misleading as, in general, it is groups of muscles working together to either make or cancel a movement. [21] The present table lists some well-known relationships but is not at all complete.
By comparing MUAMA values against computed tomography, studies by Heymsfield et al. found that, at the maximum circumference of the triceps, the contribution of bone to the total cross-sectional area was 18% in men and 17% in women, which were 10 cm 2 and 6.5 cm 2 respectively. [1]
Get ready to blast those biceps. Chin-ups are a classic arm-sculpting exercise that targets the biceps and upper back muscles. "Hang [onto] a pull-up bar with your palms facing you," instructs Mentus.
Men are feeling more and more pressure to get rid of their love handles and beer bellies – and heavy promotion of unrealistic appearance standards are to blame.
Muscles provide strength, balance, posture, movement, and heat for the body to keep warm. [3] There are more than 600 muscles in an adult male human body. [4] A kind of elastic tissue makes up each muscle, which consists of thousands, or tens of thousands, of small muscle fibers.

The biceps flexes the lower arm. The brachioradialis, in the forearm, and brachialis, located deep to the biceps in the upper arm, are both synergists that aid in this motion. Synergist muscles also called fixators, act around a joint to help the action of an agonist muscle.
