brachialis
why the fuck is every one telling me that hammer curls work this muscle better than normal curls if the brachialis doesnt care about forearm position

every single curl grip variation it works the same

It's broscience, biceps are the easiest muscles to hit.

hammer curls work the brachioradialis the most. brachialus is best hit from the pronated wrist position

t. bro scientist, brachialis works in every position and its the strongest elbow flexor

Just do the bottom half of the curl if you want to hit brachialis alone. If that is not what you're trying to find out, then what is the purpose of this thread?

purpose of this thread is to tell you that if one guy only did normal curls another guy only did hammer curls and another only did pronated curls they would work the brachialis the exact same :^)

If you're interested in improving your health, and have taken notice that "neither position matters," how about you try both positions yourself? Stick with a position that "feels good" for you, when performing dumbbell lifts!

>why the fuck is every one telling me that hammer curls work this muscle better than normal curls if the brachialis doesnt care about forearm position

the theory goes like this bot:
>curl is for biceps
>supinated curl allows u to use biceps more than brachialis and brachioradialis
>neutral curl does not allow u to use biceps so brachialis and brachiradialis will work iinstead
and it's bullshit cause whatever the fuck u do front delt that is preventing humerus extending shoulder joint is pinching on long head biceps tendon, it desperately trying to work but is pinched and therefore sputtering and this retarded jackhammer action propagates over entire setup brachialis included

but bot - curls do not work biceps, they fuck it up but do not work it :D

>sit sideways on bench with uno dumbbell and leaned on elbow of hand with dumbbell - this relaxes front delt and back at the same time
>so it's more of isometric hold with roughly 90 degs in elbow for biceps and brachialis i guess? doing long head like nothing else would ?

yes i have this peak :D but i never roided and never will :D that's what developped long head of biceps looks like

It doesn't. The people who tell you that are shit at anatomy and just are repeating old memes. Brachioradialis recruitment is what's optimized by hammer curls.

I had to skip hammer curls for a good while recently due to tendonitis. Started again recently

My forearms looked like dogshit until I started them again, and my upper arms are pretty big, so each one looked like those big wedding cake squeezers where the icing comes out in one thin line from the huge sack
