Actually, not to get too technical on our simple thread here, but the brachialis inserts on the ulna, the non-rotating bone of the forearm, so wrist position doesn't affect it's recruitment, it's a pure flexor of the elbow, that's it. I think you're referring to the brachioradialis, which is a forearm muscle, but crosses the elbow joint.
