I dont know what it is called but it is on the outter side of arms located between bicep and tricep
brachialis..hammer curls, cross hammer curls, seated hammer curls, close grip preacher curls, close grip bb curls, ez bar curls close grip.
Thats the brachialis.
The brachialis its activated more during isometric elbow flexion when as during a dynamic elbow flexion the biceps is more activated.
These are some good exercises.
- Preacher curls
- Concerntration curls
Jo Rak is right for the fiirst part but the exercises you want to do(on top of your normal bi,tri routine) is hammer and reverse curls. and wrist curls and wrist reverse curls. as for the rest heavy exercises(deadlifts, rows, etc) will also help develop strength

Actually the brachialis is the target muscle used in the concerntration curl and preacher curls with the biceps being used as the synergist. (which is a muscle that assists another muscle to accomplish a movement) Hammer curls, reverse curls, etc, etc, use the brachialis as a synergist and is not actually the target muscle in the exercise.
But yes all are awesome exercises for developing the brachialis.

i actually think the bicep peak is what you are refering to breh. just me but wrist curls and reverse wrist curlks have helped for curls while hammer curls and heavy lifts(deads, pull ups,etc) have helped the most in strength. just me though so to each his own

Ive always felt that reverse curls were the only time I really could feel I was working out the brachs. In fact I had been doing hammers, preachers and concentration curls for years, but the first time I did rev EZ bar curls, the sides of my arms were killing me the next day.
am i the only one thinking he's talking about the lateral head of the triceps?

The bicep peak is affected by your brachialis. Not as much as the natural genetics of your bicep tho.

Bad post. Time for some reading comprehension lessons bud. What do wrist curls have to do with building the peak of the biceps? And what does the peak of the biceps have to do with building the brachialis?...other than that it runs both under and beside the biceps brachii and with that said, building it may help build a better, more full looking bicep.
Whoever said to do reverse curls and hammer curls should read a book or something. Sure, it gets worked, but isn't the prime mover. The prime mover on these lifts is actually the Brachioradialis....THE BIG MUSCLE IN THE FOREARM.

get on a preacher curl machine, grip the "grip" with a hammer style grip if that machine lets you and go to town. you will seriously feel it, if you want more tips on that, or want to see what i mean check out the getting cut with glass video on the site where he trains arms.

^ Thats what I thought as well.
When I read his post, my initial thought was "uhhh.....the triceps?"

this
you must mean the quads, shrugs build those up good
There are only two muscles big muscles on your arms, biceps and triceps. Between your biceps and your inner elbow is a muscle that is quite small and is isolated best via preacher curls. On the outside of your elbow is another muscle that is trained best via hammer curls or reverse curls (ie your palm is down when you curl).
As for between triceps and biceps, there is no muscle there. Your bicep is on the inner side of the arm, the tricep on the outer. There is no muscle that separates the two.
Drag Curls are awesome for this muscle, nice and slow and you feel a serious burn.
Can't believe I'm gonna say this....
Heavy back work is pretty much all you need.

He probally is lol, but he did say inbetween the bicep and tricep.
Lol at Chazzy being banned, wonder what he did. :p
