Now that we’ve seen a bunch of arms, who has “long” biceps vs “short” biceps? Does anyone have “great insertions,” like their bicep is attached way close to their elbow? Or are their any exceptional bicep peaks?
Also, are arms like reptiles? Do the oldest guys have the biggest pythons?
Mine are short, very high insertion at the elbow, but the tradeoff is that gives a good peak.
Perfect world I’d have a low insertion at the elbow but also insertion further from the shoulder, so short and low rather than short and high, but I didn’t do too badly all things considered in the genetic lottery.
That’s a good question. I don’t know the answer with any certainty but mental physics would suggest a lower attachment would be stronger, though I’m not sure if the ‘higher insertion’ we talk about visually actually corresponds to a physically different or advantageous attachment point for the tendon.
It could simply be the case that the bicep is indeed shorter, with a longer tendon at that end, but attaching to the same spot.
