Your bicep wasn’t designed to be a forearm.
Step #1 is usually just getting the body to do what it’s supposed to do.
So part of a coach/trainers job is to create that externally, but also to create the awareness of your own internal environment, the one you create for yourself. They can’t physically change that, only you can, but your awareness of that environment should grow
