These muscles are the long head and the short head.The primary function of the Bicep muscle is to move the forearm towards the shoulder (elbow flexion). The secondary function of the bicep brachii is supination of the forearm.The origin of the bicep muscle attaches onto the Scapula at two places (Supraglenoid Tuberosity and the Coracoid Process)The insertion points are onto the Radius (Tubercle) and the Fascia of the forearm (Bicipital Aponeurosis).Increasing Bicep Size: Be sure to keep your train at different intensities and focus on a full range of exercises.
