since the bicep curl is a flexion of the forearm at the elbow, the biceps brachii and brachialis are mainly used, especially in the supinated position. a prone bicep curl uses brachialis and brachioradialis more. the biceps brachii function is much less, since it is also a forearm supinator, so it is deactivated in the prone position.
the triceps brachii are the antagonistic muscle group are not not involved in the bicep curl. the triceps extend the forearm at the elbow.
