BICEPS

The bicep is the muscle that is attached to the
forearm muscle called the radius. The bicep
controls movements such as bending your forearm
to your shoulder. An example would be lifting
your arm to touch your nose. A good exercise
to strengthen the bicep includes the standing
barbell curl.

TRICEPS

• The tricep is the muscle that controls the
  opposite actions of the bicep. The main function
  of the tricep is to straighten the arm. An
  example of the action of the tricep would be to
  bring the arm down from touching your nose.
• A few good exercises to strengthen the triceps
  are push downs and dips.
