The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow. It lies beneath the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa (elbow pit). It originates from the anterior aspect of the distal humerus; [1] it inserts onto the tuberosity of the ulna.
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.
The bicep curl mainly targets the biceps brachii, brachialis and brachioradialis muscles. The biceps is stronger at elbow flexion when the forearm is supinated (palms turned upward) and weaker when the forearm is pronated. [1]
This shifts the focus to the brachialis, another muscle that sits beneath the biceps and is the primary mover for elbow flexion. By making this shift, you'll get stronger—and your biceps will ...
Biceps brachii; of the forearm at the elbow. Brachialis; Brachioradialis; Biceps brachii; of carpus (the carpal bones) at the wrist. flexor carpi radialis; flexor carpi ulnaris; palmaris longus; of the hand. flexor pollicis longus muscle; flexor pollicis brevis muscle; flexor digitorum profundus muscle; flexor digitorum superficialis muscle
Unlike most other curls, which only directly target the biceps muscles (and in some cases like the hammer curl, the brachialis), the Zottman curl is designed to engage your forearms as well ...
It then passes downwards and laterally between the biceps brachii (above) and the brachialis muscles (below), to the lateral side of the arm; at 2 cm above the elbow it pierces the deep fascia lateral to the tendon of the biceps brachii and is continued into the forearm as the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm.

The anterior compartment contains three muscles: biceps brachii, brachialis and coracobrachialis muscles. They are all innervated by the musculocutaneous nerve. The posterior compartment contains only the triceps brachii muscle, supplied by the radial nerve. [9] [10] [11]
