What muscles does Bayesian curls work?

Bayesian curls trains Biceps Brachii & Brachialis as primary movers (counted as 1.0 hard set per set) and Forearms & Grip as secondary synergists (counted as 0.5 hard set per set).

What is Bayesian curls called in French, Strong, and Hevy exports?

In French gym logs and Strong/Hevy CSV exports, Bayesian curls also resolves cleanly from Curls bayesiens.
