A muscle in the forearm that runs from the upper arm to the forearm and helps bend your elbow, often called the 'beer muscle' because it's visible when flexing.
From Latin 'brachium' (arm) and 'radius' (forearm bone), with the Latin noun ending '-is'. This anatomical term was formalized in medical terminology during the systematic naming of muscles in the 18th-19th centuries.
The brachioradialis is the muscle that shows off when you do a bicep curl, but surprise—it's technically not your bicep! It's actually a different muscle that's weaker than the biceps but sits in a position where it gets all the visual credit for making your arm look pumped.
