Welcome to one question Monday where Dr. Payton-Busker, physical therapist and Evelo

instructor and I talk about just one quick question as quick as we can nice and concise get your questions answered each

Monday. So today we're talking about the biceps and if you can separate there's there's two different heads of the

the short head and the long head.

And can you separate those two different heads

or segments of the bicep in your training.

So, Payton, why don't you take this?

Tell us all about it.

Yeah.

So I feel like it's a really common misconception

that you can train different parts of the heads

of the bicep based on your elbow positioning. train different biceps, which are the long head and the short head at different parts of your shoulder complex.

There's only one insertion point.

So both of those heads of the biceps

come together and attach below your elbow on the radius.

So that's, so in order to be able to train them separately,

you'd actually have to have two separate insertion points

as well as those two separate origin points.

If that was the case and they continued to be separate entities or separate

muscles at that point and separate and insert and maybe the medial side of the elbow

versus the lateral side, then your elbow position could play a role in which

which bicep muscle you would be activating more but because there's one common
