💪 The Science Behind Bigger, Stronger Biceps

Want better biceps? Let’s talk science, not just curls. 🧬🔥

Your biceps are made of two heads (short + long), and research shows they respond best to:

📌 Mechanical tension

Controlled reps increase muscle fiber recruitment — especially during the eccentric (lowering) phase.

📌 Varied grip + elbow position

Changing your grip (supinated, neutral, wide, narrow) shifts which head of the biceps works harder. Variety = better hypertrophy.

📌 Full range of motion

Studies show training through a full stretch (like incline curls or touching your weights to the top of your thighs at the bottom) increases muscle growth by stimulating stretch-mediated hypertrophy.

📌 Progressive overload

Your biceps adapt quickly. To keep them growing, you need small, consistent increases in weight, reps, or tempo.

• The Full Range Curls maximize stretch to increase hypertrophy.

• The Close Grip Sliding Curl adds variety in grip and movement targeting the brachialis for higher bicep peak.

Remember:

💥 Quality reps > heavy reps

💥 Control = more muscle activation

💥 Consistency wins every time

Flex with purpose. Train with science.
