where is the biceps located in the body?
in the arm
bullet::::- glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint) – several weaker functions occur at the glenohumeral joint. the biceps brachii weakly assists in forward flexion of the shoulder joint (bringing the arm forward and upwards). it may also contribute to abduction (bringing the arm out to the side) when the arm is externally (or laterally) rotated. the short head of the biceps brachii also assists with horizontal adduction (bringing the arm across the body) when the arm is internally (or medially) rotated. finally, the short head of the biceps brachii, due to its attachment to the scapula (or shoulder blade), assists with stabilization of the shoulder joint when a heavy weight is carried in the arm. the tendon of the long head of the biceps also assists in holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity.

a biceps slicer (also called a biceps lock or biceps crusher) is a compression lock that involves pressing the biceps into the humerus. an effective biceps slicer can be applied by putting an arm or leg as a fulcrum on the opponent's arm at the inside of the arm by the elbow, and flexing the opponent's arm over the fulcrum. this will result in the biceps and forearm being pressed into the fulcrum. the biceps slicer becomes most effective as a compression lock when the bony parts of the limb such as the shin or any of the bones in the forearm are forced into the biceps of the opponent. the biceps slicer can also become a potent armlock when it is applied in this manner, because the leverage causes an elongating and separating tension in the elbow joint, making this a legal technique in judo competition. in brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions however, the biceps slicer is an illegal technique in lower level divisions of some major tournaments. in catch wrestling biceps slicer variation is called short-arm scissors.
