Hypertrophy anatomy course for trainers
·
Module 7
Arm Anatomy and Hypertrophy Application
1
Biceps and Brachialis Anatomy: Origin, Insertion, and Fiber Direction
Describe the origin, insertion, and fiber direction of the biceps brachii (long and short head) and brachialis.
Triceps Brachii: Anatomy and Fiber Orientation
Describe the origin, insertion, and fiber direction of the triceps brachii (long, lateral, and medial heads).
3
Biarticular Muscles and Full Stretch
Explain why the biarticular nature of the long heads of the biceps and triceps is critical for achieving a full stretch.
Biceps & Brachialis: Length-Tension & Targeted Exercises
Explain the lengthened and shortened positions of the biceps brachii and brachialis, and select exercises that preferentially target each.
5
Triceps: Length-Tension & Targeted Training
Explain the lengthened and shortened positions of the triceps brachii, and select exercises that preferentially target each head (e.g., overhead vs. pushdown).
6
Arm Exercise Anatomy: Muscles and Movements
Map common arm exercises (e.g., incline curl, preacher curl, overhead extension, pushdown) to their primary anatomical targets.
Optimize Your Arm Training: Correcting Common Mistakes
Identify common arm training mistakes (e.g., using shoulder momentum) and apply anatomical cues to correct them.
