the bicep like any skeletal muscle are there for motion. they allow the bones to move without these muscles we would not be able to move. the bicep contracts (becomes shorter) and pulls the lower arm up. giving you movement
remember muscles work in pairs so when the bicep contracts the tricep (the opposite muscle) relaxes. they work together to coordinate movement sufficiently
