Origin: Attachment point of the deltoid muscle (Deltoid tuberosity)
Innervation: Musculocutaneous nerve
How is the muscle trained / contracted?
As with the biceps, the flexor of the arm is contracted by a flexion in the Elbow joint reached. A classic form of exercise for isolated stress on the arm flexor muscles is Biceps curl.
Other forms of stress occur with tensile movements in the Back training on.
