Which muscle is primarily responsible for elbow flexion during a bicep curl?

• Brachialis

• Biceps Brachii

• Brachioradialis

• Anterior Deltoid

Why is wrist supination important for targeting the biceps during a curl?

• It increases the overall weight lifted.

• It forces the biceps to handle the majority of the load, as the brachialis cannot supinate.

• It allows the brachialis muscle to contribute more.

• It reduces the involvement of the anterior forearm muscles.

What is a primary advantage of using a barbell for bicep curls over dumbbells, concerning progressive overload?

• Barbells allow for a wider range of motion.

• Barbells enable smaller, more precise weight increments for progressive overload.

• Barbells are more comfortable on the wrists.

• Barbells activate the long head of the biceps more effectively.

What training focus strategy is supported by research for promoting muscle growth in biceps curls?

• Lifting the heaviest weight possible.

• Maintaining a very tight grip on the bar.

• Focusing on the "mind-muscle connection" by squeezing the biceps.

• Performing curls with a very close grip.

To maximize bicep tension during a barbell curl, where should the majority of pressure be placed on your hands?

• On your pointer and middle fingers

• On your pinky and ring fingers

• Evenly distributed across all fingers

• On your thumb and index finger

What is the recommended bar path for a bicep curl to generate more torque and tension on the biceps?

• Straight up and down

• In an arc, curling the bar out in front

• Towards the chest in a diagonal line

• Behind the body in a reverse arc

During a bicep curl, which body parts should remain mostly motionless to ensure proper form and target the biceps effectively?

• Only the elbows

• Knees, hips, and lower back

• Shoulders and wrists

• Forearms and hands

To maximize bicep activation during a standing dumbbell curl, how should you grip the dumbbell and perform the movement?

• Grip the dumbbell in the middle and keep the wrist neutral throughout

• Grip with your pinky finger in the center of the dumbbell and supinate throughout the concentric phase

• Grip with your index finger in the center of the dumbbell and pronate throughout the concentric phase

• Grip the dumbbell towards the thumb side and keep the wrist extended
