Elbow Health is a major concern. Let’s Improve grip strength, prevent bicep injury and strengthen muscles to fight off elbow pain. Strengthening the proper muscles is the name of the game.

The elbow joint is formed where the humerus (upper arm bone) and Ulna and radius bones (forearm) come together. The Bicep Brachii is the main flexor muscle and it acts on both the shoulder and elbow joints.
• Flexes the arm at the shoulder
• Flexes Forearm at elbow
• Supinates forearm at elbow
Brachialis Is in the upper arm and not visible.
• Prime mover of elbow flexion
The brachioradialis flexes the forearm at the elbow. It also helps with supination and pronation. This muscle extends from the humerus all the way down the radius bone.
• Flexes Forearm at elbow
• Allows you to rotate your forearm (turn a wheel) Pronate and supinate
Bicep Curl focuses mostly on the Bicep Brachii.

|Hammer Curl|

       Works Long Head of Bicep, Brachialis, and brachioradialis as well as stabilizer muscles.   

This can be done with both arms at the same time or alternating.

|Zottman|

Good for Tennis Elbow.  Eccentric works bracioradialus.

• Stand with Dumbbells at your side and hands in neutral position (palms facing your body).
• Keep Elbows locked at the side and wrists tight.
• Curl up, then turn down into a pronated position and lower.
• This can be done with both arms at the same time or alternating.
• 3 sets of 10-12

|Reverse Curl|

  The Reverse Curl works Brachialis, and brachioradialis and increases grip strength. These may be done with Dumbbells, Straight Bars or Ez Bar.-

• 3 sets of 10-12

Note:  The straight bar provides a different angle on the forearm.
