5 BEST EXERCISES FOR BICEPS PEAK

2 BEST EXERCISES FOR BICEPS PEAK : PRO TIP


The biceps is the NUMBER 1 showing off muscle. It will allow your physique to shine in front of everyone. And also building a well-shaped, and prominent bicep peak seems to be a priority for many lifters. So here I will tell you, why you are not able to build your biceps peak. What are you doing wrong? Tell you the best exercises for biceps peak, and share two secret tips to get bigger and better bicep peak.



First of all, you need to know about the anatomy of the bicep muscle. So here we go.

 

BICEPS ANATOMY




The biceps is a large muscle that lies on the front of the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. The biceps muscle is made up of two muscles BICEPS BRACHII and BRACHIALIS. The biceps muscle is a two-headed muscle consisting of long head and short head. The long head is located laterally on the arm (or more on the outside). The short head is located medially on the arm (or more on the inside).

When we flex our arm short head is what makes up the width or thickness of the biceps, well that is true. And long head is what makes that peak in the bicep. When we look from the back only head visible is long head people also say that as bicep peak. So everybody trains their long head and short head, but still not getting the biceps peak you want as a result. And when you do not see results you will start blaming your  genetics. But blaming your own genetics is not the solution. So what you are doing wrong here? Let's find out.

WHAT YOU ARE DOING WRONG?




Usually, people keep training their short and long head, but forget about the BRACHIALIS muscle. The brachialis is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow joint. It lies deeper than the biceps brachii. The brachialis is the prime mover of elbow flexion. While the biceps brachii appears as a large anterior bulge on the arm and commands considerable interest among bodybuilders, the brachialis underlying it actually generates about 50% more power and is thus the prime mover of elbow flexion.


So you need to train brachialis muscle, when your brachialis muscle starts growing it will physically pushes up your long head by which you can clearly see height of your bicep increases gradually and creating the illusion of bigger biceps peak. Many people thinks that CONCENTRATION CURLS can built your biceps peak. But the truth is it is just a different angle to hit your BICEP BRACHII.



More From MY FITNESS GYAAN Mind Muscle Connection



Except brachialis you also need to prioritize your long head not only essential for that peak but also helps create fuller biceps that look more balanced and developed from all angles.


EXERCISES FOR BICEPS PEAK


So the exercise by which you can hit your brachialis are:

 


1. REVERSE CURLS



Now some people know about this exercise to build their biceps peak, they hit reverse curls with straight barbell. But the problem of hitting reverse curls with a straight barbell is that the range of motion becomes limited. So to increase the range of motion you need to hit reverse curls with " E-Z BAR ".


2. DUMBBELL CURLS

EXERCISES FOR BICEP PEAK



Now you might be thinking that dumbbell curls are very common bicep exercise almost everyone hit dumbbell curls, what's new in this. Our biceps don't only function just as elbow flexion, it also works as supination(twisting). So here you need to hit the dumbbell curls with twisting your wrist at top of the flexion(while squeezing) as shown in picture above.



And the exercises to train your long head are:


1. Inclined Dumbbell Curls

3 BEST TIPS : HOW TO CONVERT FAT INTO MUSCLE

HOW TO CONVERT FAT INTO MUSCLE


WHAT ARE THE MUSCLES?





Muscle is an active tissue that burns calories even if you are sleeping. It helps to connect two bones and primarily functions as a source of power. The main purpose of muscle is to help us to move our body parts. Keeping your muscles strong will give power to your body, which enables you to do difficult things.

3)Cardiac muscles- heart muscles are known as cardiac muscles.

WHAT ARE FATS?

Fats are the types of nutrients that you get from your diet. It is a major storage form of energy in the body.

There are two types of body fats:-

1)Saturated- meats, butter, and daily products these are solid at room temperature and it will increase the level of bad cholesterol.

A high protein diet will help you to build muscles, these all are nutrition-rich and have low saturated fat and calories.




What to eat:- 

  • Seafood

IMPORTANT TIPS:-

As we all know about our body weight but it is also important to know about your body fat percentage which is quite different from body weight.

QUICK IDEA ABOUT 3 HUMAN BODY TYPES : WHAT’S YOURS TYPE?

HUMAN BODY TYPES : WHAT’S YOURS TYPE?

 

According to anatomy our bodies can be classified in three human body types. In this post we will tell you about how to identify your body type and how to improve your fitness according to their body type. Your body will fall into one of the three typical human body types:

 

  1. ECTOMORPH
  2. ENDOMORPH
  3. MESOMORPH



human body types



1. ECTOMORPH HUMAN BODY TYPES

 

Ectomorphs have thin wrists, long limbs, gaining weight and gaining muscle is the major problem they face no matter how much they eat. This is because ectomorphs are good at processing carbohydrates into energy and your fast metabolism means that you burn off fat easily.



And the reason why ectomorphs struggle to gain muscles is that their fast twitch muscle fibers are underdeveloped. To become more muscular, ectomorphs need to focus on compound exercises(like dead lifts, bench press, squats and bent over rowing) and intense workout sessions to increase release of growth hormone( HGH ). Ectomorphs can take rest up to 2 to 3 minutes between each set.



And daily calorie needs are about 3000 calories and diet must be high in healthy fats,high in  carbs and protein. Ectomorphs need to keep the duration of their workout maximum of 1 hour to 1.5 hours. They should keep low workout volume which means 12-14 sets per workout. Also 3-4 full body workouts in a week  are sufficient enough to gain muscle. Ectomorphs can skip cardio to conserve calories. You should keep your rep range between 8-12 repetitions per set.



The dead lift is your best friend: people with long arms should find it relatively easy, and it uses the entire body so it’ll pack on mass. Although squats and benching will do wonders for your physique, taller ectomorphs might find them difficult.

2. ENDOMORPH HUMAN BODY TYPES


Endomorphs have thick wrist, short limbs, narrow waist and broad structure that’s why they look more aesthetic. Endomorphs can gain muscle easily but they can’t lose fat easily. Endomorphs are adept at storing fuel, with muscle and fat concentrated in the lower body.



Endomorphs need to do compound exercises as well as they need to increase their workout intensity and workout volume, so they also need to do isolation movements, cable movements and machine movements. Rest period for Endomorphs will be around 60-90 seconds between each set. Unlike Ectomorphs, Endomorphs need to keep their workout volume high for that you should keep you rep range between 15-20 repetitions and also they should keep 16-20 sets per workout.



Try to minimize the effects of the stress hormone cortisol by getting plenty of sleep and avoiding over-training. And Endomorphs can also perform 4-6 full body workouts. They should also perform low intensity cardio up-to 30 minutes for better results. They should eat equal to their maintenance calories and keep your dietary fat minimum 10-15% of your total calories, their protein intake must be high.

3. MESOMORPH HUMAN BODY TYPES

 



Mesomorphs are more aesthetic here, they have broad shoulders, they have good overall width and their waist is very narrow. Muscle gain and fat loss is quite easy for Mesomorph. Which generally results in bad and short workouts. And they won’t often train as hard as they can, also not caring about diet and nutrition in such conditions,  you need to follow progressive workout programs which will make you stronger and will keep you in shape.



You will need to eat plenty of whole grains but limiting your total dietary fat.Mesomorphs respond well to creatine,It’ll aid their recovery from athletic workouts and help them work out harder.Although the explosive nature of athletic workouts minimizes the eccentric portion of your moves, which helps stave off muscle soreness, some light movements on your rest days will help get the blood flowing and keep you fresh.
