A peaked bicep is the first pinnacle of achievement we aim to reach in our fitness journey. Cracobrachialis: Lying "deep", or under the biceps brachii, is the Coracobrachialis. the Coracobrachialis originates at coracoid process of the scapula and inserts into the medial portion of the humerus, near the deltoids tubercle. The placement of the muscle is very important in its function. The muscle passes over the shoulder joint and into the humerus, allowing this muscle to pull the humerus upwards and towards the body. In many functions it works with the deltoid and pectralis. This muscle allows you to perform exercises where you swing a weight upwar forcefully. Brachialis: the Brachialis is the fourth muscle and most distal muscle we will review. The brachialis origi...

J  ANATOMY OF THE BICEPS The bicep are one of the most prominent muscles in the upper arm. They are almost invariably the first muscle that gym goers exercise. A peaked bicep is the first pinnacle of achievement we aim to reach in our fitness journey. Bicep Brachii Short head (Brevis): The most prominent muscle of biceps is known as bicep brachii.  It is comprised of two muscles: the short head which is on the inside of the arm and the longus which on the outside. The bicep brachii is joined by two additional and powerful muscles: coracobrachialis and the brachialis. Bicep Brachii Long Head(longus): The long head originates at the supraclenoid tubercle of the scapula. like short head, the brachii long head inserts into the radial tuberosity and down into the forearms. If you notice, both the long head and short head do not attach to the humerus although it is the bone it moves and cover. both the long head and short head work together. ...
