    The biceps brachii muscle has two heads - a long/outer head and a short/inner head. The long head originates at the supraglenoid tuberosity of the scapula and inserts at the tubercle of the radius and bicipital aponeurosis. It functions in elbow flexion and forearm supination. The short head originates at the coracoid process of the scapula and also inserts at the tubercle of the radius and bicipital aponeurosis. In addition to elbow flexion and forearm supination, it functions in shoulder flexion and transverse shoulder flexion. Some exercises that work the biceps include chin ups, EZ bar c
