What is the bicep?

Answer:
Remember in junior high when someone would say, "Make

a muscle?" This typically means that you are to flex your arm, or biceps muscles.

The biceps brachii, as it is known, is plural because it consists of two muscles. The long head and the short head. The primary function of these muscles is to flex the arm at the elbow and supination at the forearm. This is why curls and rows, especially with a supinated grip, are very effective for the development of these muscles in bodybuilding.

Working the biceps, as well as the triceps, with a good high intensity arm routine will lead to a strong, well built set of guns.
