Bicep Exercises
Bicep Muscles are located at the front of your upper arm. Bicep muscles are the ones you flex when showing someone how big the muscles in your arms are. Definition and cut of your arms develops after toning these muscles.
Biceps brachii “Bi” + “cep” literally, meaning “2 heads”; 2 parts to this one muscle- a long head and a short head located to the front of upper arms. Each muscle starts at a different point on the scapula (shoulder blade), but both muscles attach to the same place on the forearm and elbow. Bicep is a relatively small muscle but is used for varied functions like “pro-nation” (arm extended, palm facing body) to “supination” (arm curled).
