The Biceps Brachii is attached to the forearm bone called the radius and originates at the scapula in two places (the Bicep gets it's name from these two heads - called the short head and the long head). The Biceps runs down the anterior or front side of the humerus and makes up approximated 1/3 of the muscle mass of the upper arm.. The Biceps are among the most famous muscles in the body.
