What exercises train side bicep (brachialis...i think)
What exercises train the side bicep.
I always thought, that having moderately big biceps and huge triceps is enough, but after I saw this guy yesterday, I realized I have something seriously missing in my arm developement.
It's the side bicep, the one that separates the main bicep with the tricep or branchialis. This side bicep I think is very important cause it gives a large bicep look when looking at the arms from the front. Don't you agree?
What exercises train this part. I heared, hammer curls, but what else, and how are hammer curls properly performed?
Thanks bros.

hammer curls and reverse curls are best for developing the brachialis. Hammer curls are properly performed by simply keeping the dumbell perpindicular to the floor through the entire movement, and moving your shoulder as little as possible.

you post confused me, but i will say this...
sit on an incline, hold the dumbells with your wrists facing each other, and use controlled movements. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeels great.

So you want the popeye arm look eh?? Like CA said hammers. There are variations to use besides the db. Try the rope on lower pulley. Realize to that regular bi exercises also work the brachs secondary. I might add just performing squezes pumping your hand like you are going to give blood. This rushes blood there helping promote growth

Its called iso-tension techniques. I do them ALLWAYS when training upper body. People look at me like a space monkey because I'm looking in the mirror tension & squeezing lol.

Thanks a lot bros.
Could reverse barbell curls also work? It doesn't seem possible to be able to do reverse dumbell curls

i think depending on the grip of the bar, you can emphasize more use of the inner or outer head. i.e. ifyou use a close grip on a barbell you stress the outer head of the bicep, as with a wider grip you stress the inner head. i think that's the way it goes.
for the one your talking about, i think you should try doing closer gripped barbell curls. i didn't fully understand your 1st post but i think that what your referring to is the outside of the bicep, then i think you should do closer grip barbell curls.

Does any one have link to step-by-step pictures of Zotman curls? I once saw a link to a description of them, but I got lost reading it. Pictures work better for me.
