The biceps, generally recognized as the biceps, is a two-headed skeletal muscle that runs within the elbow and shoulder. While it’s not the most significant muscle in your arms (that credit goes to the triceps), several people focus on building more critical, more muscular biceps at the gym.
The biceps are relatively small as the muscles advance, but they are essential. “Every moment you pull, grab, hug, grab, carry, or lift something, your biceps are going,” says BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S., inventor of Men’s Health StreamFIT and author of Your Body Is Your Barbell.

There are two techniques to regulate the size of your biceps: relaxed and flexed. It is more comfortable for others to contain you, especially if you calmly take your measurement.

• Make a fist. Double your forearm towards your joint like doing a lock of biceps and bend as tightly as you can.
• Hold the end of a soft tape step over and around the highest point of your biceps so that both ends meet to give you your measurement.
