BICEPS-Brachii

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. They pull the forearms to the shoulder. They also work to supinate the hand so that you can curl a dumbbell weight upwards.
