Hey /fit/, so we all know what biceps and triceps are.
Assuming "bi" means 2, and "tri" means 3, that leads to the existing of the FIRST muscle. I dont know where it is or how to call it ("uniceps" or "singleceps"), but I know it MUST exist.
And if there's a muscle, I need to learn how to train it.
Thoughts?

uniceps a new meme
yes, its called the penis

Maybe ur quads idk
ceps means heads.
a bicep has 2 attachment points, and each "head" serves 2 functions
a unicep would be a singular muscle, with one attachment point.
there are multiple biceps, triceps, and quadriceps throughout the body.

Quads comes from "quad", which is a latin for 4. So it goes like
1. MISSING MUSCLE
2. Biceps
3. Triceps
4. Quadceps
Are we onto a revelation here?
You guys are dumb
The prefixes "bi" and "tri" are not from a numerical series denoting the 2nd and 3rd muscles, they're named.. Ah fuck it whatever
Find your uniceps

*each head serves one function

i found my penis

Damn what happened to scooby?

Got straight
>>37274758
100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 squats, 10km runs
EVERY
SINGLE
DAY

Lmao
You you guys seriously not train your tongues ?
>Tongue curls
>Tongue pushups
>Tongue flutters
Git gud
>>37274694
So you're saying the more attachment points there are, the more muscle is engaged in the movement, the more it is developed.
How can I make sure my singular muscles don't lag behind the superiors muscles?

not quite the point famalam.
when i say each head has a function
i mean that that part of the muscle is utilized when you do a certain movement
for example, the bicep has 2 functions, to curl upwards, and to turn your arm counter clockwise.
so when doing curls, turning your hands from facing down to facing up will engage part of your bicep that would otherwise not be used.
it doesnt mean that that part of the muscle will atrophy and become weak if you do not train it,
it simply means you do not use the whole muscle to its maximum ability
training only one head of the muscle will still grant a net growth for the whole muscle.

>counter clockwise
>turning your hands from facing down to facing up will engage part of your bicep that would otherwise not be used.
Its funny how wrong you can be whilst simultaneously being correct in a way.
>>37274994
im sorry, i would use words like supinate and pronate, but i basically gave the same speech i give when people in real life ask me about this
and that part of the bicep would not be engaged to the same degree as if you supinated your arms during the movement.
then again, i may have been misinformed from the start, in that case, correct me, im fine with being wrong.

in german, the hamstring is usually called "bein-bizep", i.e. "leg-bicep"
>>37275067
I'm all for dumbing things down for the layperson - in fact it's pretentious and douchey to assume everyone knows/gives a crap about the technical terms
The thing is anti clockwise does describe supination. Try turning your hands anti clockwise on both arms and see if they both demonstrate supination
And it's not that the heads serve different functions and are used independently - supination is just ALSO a function of the biceps, so supination during elbow flexion just increases it's engagement.

beinis bizep
>>37275140
i see my mistake,
im the type of person that loves to use hand expressions when they talk, and when i was typing that i had my left hand out performing the actions while i described them, thus the counter clockwise
oops.
>>37275172
its ok
we all make mistakes
