What should I do if I can’t feel the strength in my biceps?

★ Posted on 12-08,2024

There are many exercises to exercise the biceps. The biceps are a popular muscle training option. When we do some movements, we need the biceps to exert force in order to perform this movement in place, but some people cannot feel the biceps to exert force. So what should you do if you can’t feel the force in your biceps? Let’s go take a look below!

What to do if you can

1. Understand the function of biceps brachii

What we need to know is that in our fitness training, if we want to train a certain muscle well, then the first thing we need to know is the function of that muscle. Because only by knowing the function of our muscles when they contract and exert force, can we better complete the corresponding training movements during training, so that our muscles can be better stimulated. In the same way, if we want to train our biceps well, the first thing we need to know is the function of our biceps when it contracts and exerts force.

Generally speaking, when our biceps brachii contracts and exerts force, it has one main function, which is to allow our elbow joint to complete a flexion movement, which is an elbow joint curling movement. The biceps brachii has two secondary functions. One is to make our forearm perform an external rotation movement, and the other is to make our shoulder joint perform a flexion movement, that is, to raise the arm. This means that when we train the biceps, the main action that needs to be completed is the elbow joint flexion of the anti-set, and the second action that needs to be completed is the external rotation of the forearm and shoulder joint flexion.

2. Reduce the force exerted by other muscles during training

One of the important reasons why many of us are unable to find the feeling of exerting force in the biceps during biceps training is that other muscles will exert too much force. If we want to reduce the force exerted by other muscles, then we need to do the following two things. One is to reduce the shaking of our body and stabilize our body. The other is toThat is, the amplitude of arm swing should not be too large. The displacement of the upper arm is only a few centimeters. If it is too much, it will increase the compensation of our shoulder muscles.
