Like many other muscles in the body, the biceps have different heads, namely the short and long heads. Both heads contribute to aesthetics in their own way. Let’s look at long head vs.

The biceps muscle has two tendons (long head tendon and short head tendon) that attach it to the bones of the shoulder, and the distal tendon that attaches it to the radius bone at the elbow.

On the shoulder end, the biceps tendon divides into two strands, known as the long head and the short head. The most common type of biceps tendon injury is in the long head biceps tendon ...

(Oh, also—“biceps” is singular as well as plural. There is no “bicep.”) The long head is on the outside, and the short head is the part that’s closest to your torso. But there’s more.
