A list of the default weightlifting biceps exercises included pre-configured targeting the inner and outer heads of the biceps muscle group.
Training the biceps involves targeting its two heads - the inner and outer - of the biceps brachii. Found on the front of the upper arm, this thick muscle group is essential for contracting the elbow joint.
The inner head is closest to the body and is the largest head. The outer head is located on the outside of the arm.
To maximize growth and symmetry, when you design or choose a bicep workout, it should target these two muscle groups. Not to worry most of the exercises will hit both heads.
