hi i like to use reverse curls with a straight bar or cambered bar,this motion hits me good.also hammer curls in the tradional form or hammer the dumbell across your torso to the opposite pec ie right arm curl across your body to your left pec.one more you can try and it involves forearms too is to sit on a bench with forearms on your legs holding a 45lb plate.see how long you can hold it and try for a couple sets i saw a baseball player do this and i liked it.hope this helps good luck

extending the arm forward, such as in a preacher curl or concentration curl will pre-stretch this muscle for better contraction.

The biceps are worked better (because of the pre-stretch) when the arm is parallel with the body or hanging behind it as in an incline dumbell curl with arms hanging. Depending on your structure one or the other muscle may do the majority of the work in most curling or pulling. I for example work the brachialis more and have really work on pre-stretching my biceps to get them to do the work.

Hammer curls and reverse curls work the muscle that runs from the forearm to the upper arm. I can't recall it's proper name right off the bat (brachiali. ... something). Hammers work the brachialis also because of the stretch it places on that muscle from the twisting of the wrist.

I remember Lee Haney always used to refer to it as the "brachialigis." LOL! Sorry I have nothing more to contribute.
