High insertion and low bicep insertion?

[imanooo000ob]

Which is more genetically common, and which do you think is better?
When I flex, my bicep peak is about 1 and a half inch away from my elbow, would that be considered high or low? Sorry, I'm just a beginner.

i consider that a high bicep insertion.. i have the same.

[unlucky]

thats a little high but i can tell you it dosent matter bro just maximally develop what u got u can take ten pros 10 of the best arms out there and the lengths are going to be all over the place dorian 6 time mister o short heads beat shawn ray long head good peak kevin levrone long head poor peak flex wheller short head high peak it dosent matter take what u got and train them till they are freaky no one askes a guy with 22s if he has a long or short head hahas

Not going to lie, That was incredibly hard to read. Also I have high insertion, I'm pretty sure it goes away as your bicep develops.

I'm starting to do more bicep stretch exercises Ex. Doing a bicep curl squeezing at top when at bottom flex triceps. I heard they work

no u cant lengthen or shorten or add more peek to ur bicept that shape of ur bicept is the way it will always be it can be bigger or smaller but the length and peak when flexed or extended are a result of the position of the insertion of the bicep tendon into the elbow

the bigger you get the more peak you get tho? also short is probably better, for starters you can move your wrists to make it LOOK longer or to have more of a peak so its a win

a long head on any muscle is the medical term for what we call a full muscle belly so no a long head is better

You're very helpful, and you obviously know what you're talking about, but could you use punctuation please? It hurts peoples eyes to read your posts.

You are right about not being able to change the genetic shape though ofcourse.

[CJ_Guns]

Strong bicepts ITT.

Flex your bicep so it's parallel to the ground & at a 90 degree angle with your forearm. Then see how many fingers from the opposite hand you can fit between the insertion.

1 = Full muscle bellies.
2 = Not full but not high either.
3 = High insertions.

Full muscle bellies are a feature that all the top bodybuilders have in most, if not all, muscle groups.

[alex_dude1o1]

Full muscle bellies FTW ^^

[pothead93]

Does having high insertion biceps mean you probably have high insertion everywhere? My lats are quite high as well, don't know how to test the rest.

[Alboking]

i can barley fit 1 finger between my arm and bicep when flexed but i already know that i got a long head

Every muscle that u cant tell if its high or low insertion by lookin at it for me i have low insertions

8 time mr O has short

Ever heard of a "." lol.

yah imagine if he had long how much better his arms would look
also 8x mr.o has short yes but than agian he has godlike triceps to makeup for it and his brachialis looks giant to.

[legonds08]

it would look better but still his bis are kinda small

[D3th 2 Aw3]

I can fit 3 fingers between elbow and bicep. Feels bad man.

Ronnie coleman isnt known for a great double bi :P

lol why just bicep head location man arnold has high and yet he was beast.

[Livinhealthier2010]

so theoretically if you have high bicep insertion like Arnold, you would benefit from doing high reps and less weight than if you have low bicep insertion and you would be better off doing high weight low reps?

It doesn´t matter. Just develop the muscle like you´d do otherwise. Low reps, heavy weight.

that makes me sad

since muscle =/= strength, I am just trying to figure out the most beneficial way for me to lift if I just want my arms to look bigger, not really concerned with overall strength, that will come with time anyways

You still want to lift heavy for big muscles. Anywhere from 6 to 10 reps.
