since the bicep curl is a flexion of the forearm at the elbow, the biceps brachii and brachialis are mainly used, especially in the supinated position. a prone bicep curl uses brachialis and brachioradialis more. the biceps brachii function is much less, since it is also a forearm supinator, so it is deactivated in the prone position.
the triceps brachii are the antagonistic muscle group are not not involved in the bicep curl. the triceps extend the forearm at the elbow.
The bicep curl obviously helps the Bicep but it also helps you triceps as you pull your fist towards you your are contracting your bicept and relaxing your tricep
During a cross body bicep curl exercise, the biceps brachii muscle is primarily worked.
Performing a bicep curl exercise can feel like a tightening or squeezing sensation in your bicep muscle. When you experience the contraction in your forearm muscles, it may feel like a strong, tense sensation as those muscles work to support the movement.
The preacher curl in my opinion is the best bicep exercise.It is better than barbell curl because barbell curl works bicep brachii but it does not give enough work to brachialis muscle.Preacher curl works both Bicep brachii and brachialis.First Mr.Olympia Larry "The legend"Scott used to do Preacher curl and he developed 20' inch Arm.

Performing a bicep curl while sitting puts more focus on the biceps as the back and core muscles are not engaged as much for stability. Standing bicep curls engage more muscles for balance and stability, including the core and legs.
A bicep curl is an isotonic exercise.
the bicep contracts in a concentric contraction which means the muscles has shortened. remember muscles can only pull they can not push. also the bicep curl can be described as elbow flexion and when the weight is lowered is called elbow extention. hope it helps
An example of a concentric exercise is a bicep curl, where you lift a weight towards your shoulder. This exercise benefits the muscles by primarily targeting the bicep muscle, helping to strengthen and tone it.
muscles work in pairs so when the bicep relaxes the tricep contracts, these actions create elbow extention (arm lowering) creating an objuce angle- lowering stage in a bicep curl
When you preform an arm curl, you use your bicep muscle. it all depends on how you curl. If you curl straight up or do a twisting motion while curling. You use your shoulder and bicep and maybe a small portion of the pectoral muscle where it meets the shoulder.
Incorporating the bicep curl TRX exercise into your workout routine can help strengthen and tone your biceps, improve your grip strength, engage your core muscles for stability, and provide a versatile and challenging workout option.
