Why is it easier to flex the forearm when your forearm is supinated rather than pronated?

When the forearm is supinated, the biceps brachii muscle is in a more effective position to contribute to flexion because it's the primary supinator of the forearm. This means that the biceps brachii is better aligned to generate force when the forearm is supinated, making it easier to flex the forearm compared to when it's pronated.

Neither. The biceps brachii flex the elbow and supinates, or turns, the upper part of your arm. They are commonly referred to as just the biceps and are seen with flexing your arm with weights.

It is the muscles that lies on the inner part of the forearm and is usually the stronger than most other muscles in the arms. Hope this helps!
