Reply With QuoteIf I remember my anatomy correctly, the biceps helps shoulder stabilization, plus twists the arm, and is a helper muscle for raising the arm and moving it across the body, depending on how the arm is rotated.
Pretty much any heavy push or pull will activate the biceps for shoulder stabilization purposes, and keeping weights positioned might activate them too. Better safe than sorry, I'm afraid.

Upper Body training w/o Biceps
Ideas on upper body training that do not include using your biceps? Or at least use the biceps very little. With my bicep injury I'm trying to leave it alone, but it seems I'm very limited when it comes to upper body stuff.

What are the specifics of your bicep injury?
Biceps are secondary muscles to the back, so in almost any back exercise, the bicep becomes activated in varying extents. Depending on the injury, adding bicep isolation exercises into your workout would be beneficial.

sorry folks, Medial Epicondylitis or Golfer's Elbow
Here's a like to another thread on my issue. I've not done any lifting at all for two weeks and I want to get started again and just trying to be safe with it. It's been going on for several months now and just want it to heal, but I don't want to not workout either. I do get a lower body workout in, but it just seems strange not to work the top half.
