Different kinds of biceps?

[Jamesns]

Ive always wondered about this, mine connect to my shoulders almost when I flex ive seen some that dont connect at all etc is there a better one then the other or is this just genetics?

[jbucko]

you have only been working out 2 months give it time

Maybe, but I get what he's saying....

Could just be from a lack of definition?

[lkn4hoz]

It's genetics, there are different parts to the bicep so make sure you work them with different type's of curls and your bicep should develop nicely.

Me and a friend have been doing the same exercises but he's bicep is longer whereas mine is thicker/wider.

Biceps brachii
Origin: Long head - supraglenoid tubercle of scapula, Short h ead - cocacoid process of scapula
Insertion: Radial tuberosity of radius.

Of course, there might be variations, due to genetics.

they are judged differently. you can train your biceps to enhance their weak points. theyre considered in each of the following areas:

-length (preacher curls develop this)
-thickness
-peak (concentration/cable curls)
-development of both the inner/outer heads (wide grip/close grip curls)
-development of the underlying brachialius (hammer curls)

Different type of biceps...

Mine are long and flat, not much of a peak.

some guys look like theres a little tennis ball.

Who cares?

[b1gtymer89]

oh ya some have a bigger peak while others have a longer bicep more rounded less peak. You cant change this but you cant really tell how great of a peak you have untill you develop you biceps enough and get low enough bodyfat. Like i said you don't really know untill you build enough muscle.

Ya what fuzzy said who cares unless you plan on competing then it is very important.

[uppacut]

bulk
squat
rows

take out curls out of your workout completely=results

thats really ignorant to assume that it would work for him just because it may have worked for you. if i dont directly work mine they hardly grow.

do you row? pull ups? Close grip chin ups? Weighted close grip chin ups?

THIS is what i do,i have no direct bicep work and i get plenty of stimulation from rows,pullups etc.

[CoeX]

well..
i've seen basically two types..
ones long and flat
ones short but high

im the latter, and im trying to fill up the gap between my forearms and my biceps by ALWAYS including preacher curls to my bicep routine...
i have alway heard that preacher are the key exercise to fill up that area..

Some people have biceps that reach all the way to their elbows(I think it's called a long head), and some have biceps that don't(short head). You can check to see by flexing and putting two finger in between your bicep and elbow: if they fit, you have a short head. Apparently, people with this kind of bicep need to do variations on regular exercises. Atleast, that's what I've read :P

i think the long head is gross. cause it looks like their arm is just fat.

[Jamesns]

you have only been working out 2 months give it time

3 and half months actually.

[Fenner]

My bicep's really damn weird, It's got a kind of dent in the middle.
Anyone know what i mean?

[yCat]

lots of people here turn to genetics as the answer.

while yes, they do play a part in how your arm looks in the long run. But at this point in most of your lifting careers your arms are not completely filled out. give it time, train hard and eat big. I used to think that "Oh my bis are really far from my elbows." but thats just because i had only been at it for a couple months. Now they are much bigger and fuller.

Give it time, at this point/age dont even worry about genetics

[BodyModel]

I have the tennis ball look it's way better then the long ones.
