A muscle located in the upper arm that bends the elbow, lying beneath the more prominent biceps muscle.
From Latin 'brachialis' (of the arm), using the anatomical Latin naming convention for muscles. The term became standardized in anatomical nomenclature during the Renaissance study of human anatomy.
The brachialis muscle is a powerhouse—it's actually stronger than the biceps at bending your elbow, which is why arm wrestlers need more than just bicep strength.
