@ph_gains: …hitting them with the wrong rep range and tempo💪🏽 The brachialis helps move your arm up and down, as well as forward or back, though it’s more geared towards stabilising, while the biceps is responsible for quicker, explosive motions. Being a smaller muscle, it has a higher ratio of slow twitch muscles than the biceps. Some studies have even found it to be slow twitch dominant, though that can vary from person to person. Taking the above into account, when working my brachialis I now ensure I use a higher rep range suitable for slightly slow twitch dominant muscles (>10). I perform the eccentric/negative motion more slowly, which enhances brachialis activity while reducing biceps brachii activity according to some research. My favourite brachialis exercises: - Zottman curls - Hammer curls - Cross body hammer curls - Preacher curls #gymtips #brachialis #biceps #bicepscurls #fitnesstips #Fitness #arms
