How important is the brachialis and arm growth?
-
Very important! The brachialis sits between the biceps and triceps, but it also pushes the biceps upward. Therefore, you need to train it if you want huge biceps peaks!
-
The way you can specifically train the brachialis is to put your biceps in a compromised position and disengage them. This can be done by putting them in a pronated position (pointing downward) such as a reverse curl. Obviously you won't be able to lift as much weight, but the brachialis is a smaller muscle so it will respond!
-
Reverse curl
Supinating biceps curl (turning palm upward)
Cross-body hammer curl
