Brachialis

Which exercises are most effective for targeting your brachialis muscles which are located beneath your biceps brachii?

Concentration curls Ive heard are good.

Preacher curls or the concentration curls are great for targeting your brachialis

#1 is all types of hammer curls...standing, seated, concentration, rope, incline, crossbody.
#2 is reverse curls...barbell, preacher, cable
#3 is 90 degree (straight up and down) preacher curls
#4 is seated or lying overhead cable curls

Developing the brachialis is the only way to heighten the biceps peak. It is a good idea to train the brachialis at each bicep workout.

i agree that hammer curls work very well. got to make sure that you hold and squeeze at the top. form is more important then weight for this one.

I just rely on heavy back work for brachialis. CHins, rows ect......

My understanding is the hammer curls are better for the brachialodoris muscle running through the forearm whereas preacher or concentration curls are better for the brachialis?

Untrue...yes, I know you found a website that said different, but talk to any of the top strength coaches in the world and they will tell you just what I did.

I have also seen first hand what a good program of hammer curls can do for the brachialis.

	To refuse to learn anything that could prove beneficial to yourself is a working definition of stupid! High-intensity training is going all-out, not almost all out. It is taking one set to one's absolute limit, not almost to the limit. It is using whatever equipment’s available. It is not the words of two or three men, but a commitment to work as hard as possible while in the gym without socializing, resting excessively between sets, or falling prey to the 'this isn't going to work so I'll copy the star' attitude"
