(< Almost everyone wants bigger arms. In today's post, we're going to find out what the main functions of the biceps and triceps are so that we can better understand how to train them. - The biceps flex the elbow and supinate the forearm [1]. Elbow flexion occurs when you raise your forearm toward your upper arm, whereas forearm supination occurs when you externally rotate your forearm and move your palms up. - The triceps, on the other hand, extend the elbow [2]. Elbow extension occurs when you move your forearms away from your upper arm. Swipe left for visuals. So, in essence, training your arms is not complex. It's as simple as performing a variety of arm flexion and extension movements. - Lastly, it's important to consider that many of the push and pull movements you perform in your training will indirectly train your arms to a great deal. So when planning your training to hit each muscle group 2-3x per week, consider the overlap between the exercises you perform. - References: 1. https://www./muscles/biceps/ 2. https://www./muscles/triceps/ |
