Two great choices are the dumbbell curl and incline dumbbell curl. Both exercises target the biceps, but there are some key differences in how to perform these movements.You haveĀ three flexor musclesĀ located in the front of your arm: theĀ biceps brachii, brachialis and the brachioradialis. All three of these muscles are recruited to some degree when doing the dumbbell curl and incline dumbbell curl.When it comes to the incline dumbbell curl, though, it's theĀ biceps brachiiĀ that becomes the focus. That's because it is considered the largest and most visible muscle of the biceps, with a short and long head. - The brachialis and the brachioradialis, while still necessary,Ā play a less significant roleĀ when doing an incline curl. TheĀ brachialisĀ lies deep to the biceps brachii, but it is located closer to the lower arm, whereas, the brachioradialis is a weaker elbow flexor and is more active when the forearm is in a neutral position. - Having a basic understanding of the location and function of your arm muscles enables you to make smart choices when it comes to exercise selection. It also helps you avoid muscular imbalances and promotes a well-conditioned physique. That's why theĀ National Academy of Sports MedicineĀ says that if it's size, strength and definition you're after, you need to perform exercises thatĀ target both the upper and lowerĀ areas of your arms.Since both of the curl exercises target your biceps, it may seem like they are equal in function. However, due to the position of your body, the incline dumbbell curl targets the long head of the biceps brachii muscle more than a traditional dumbbell curl! . . #biceps #armgains #arms #armworkout #bicepcurls #bicepworkout #gymtips #armwork #armday #bicepworkout #nutritiontips #yoga #fitness #mobilitywod #flexiblity #physicaltherapy #yogi #bodybuilding #weekendyoga #deadlift #squat #hypertrophy #legday #workout #yogaformen #physio #irishfit ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 507 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 0 ## Tags flexiblity, nutritiontips, physio, irishfit, yogi, mobilitywod, arms, bodybuilding, armwork, deadlift, biceps, squat, gymtips, bicepcurls, yoga, armworkout, bicepworkout, yogaformen, weekendyoga, fitness, workout, physicaltherapy, legday, armgains, hypertrophy, armday --- Copyright (c) Gondola
