 Rupture of the Biceps Tendon - DynoMed.com
The biceps muscle bends the arm at the elbow and rotates the forearm so the palm of the hand faces upward.  Two tendons from this muscle extend and attach to the scapula while at the lower end, another tendon attaches to the radius bone of the lower arm.
The biceps tendon may rupture as a result of chronic tendinitis in the biceps tendon.  Most often, these ruptures occur in patients older than 40 who have a long history of shoulder problems, such as impingement syndrome, rotator cuff injuries.  In these conditions, over time the biceps tendon becomes worn and torn, ultimately rupturing.
Physicians may recommend surgery to repair the ruptured biceps tendon for those patients who are older than 40 and who have suffered long-term shoulder pain.

 Biceps Tenosynovitis and Impingement, R. Michael Gross, M.D. & Jack A. McCarthy, M.D.
While Dr. Neer recognized biceps tenosynovitis as a clinical problem, he felt that 95 to 98 percent of the cases were secondary to impingement and should be treated with a decompression rather than primary treatment directed towards the biceps tendon itself.
The pain was coming from the biceps tendon sheath.
The literature reflects only one approach to the surgical treatment of biceps tenosynovitis, that is one of many types of tenodesis.

 Biceps
If the biceps tendon is completely rupture, causing the muscle to bulge in the upper arm, a tenodesis can be done only if the distal portion remains near the top of the shoulder.
The well conditioned individual, however, is not immune from biceps tendon injuries as over-training can also harm an otherwise healthy tendon.
Below the shoulder, this tendon becomes the long head of the biceps muscle.

 The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Proximal Biceps Tendon Rupture
The conditions that are most frequently associated with—and probably contribute to—ruptures of the long head of the biceps are rotator cuff pathology, spurs of the bicipital groove, and shoulder instability (6).
MRI should be considered in patients who have clinical evidence of an associated rotator cuff tear and in those who choose to have their biceps surgically repaired.
There was mild tenderness over the bicipital groove and the short head of the biceps when the patient, with his elbow extended and forearm supinated, flexed his left shoulder forward against resistance (Speed's test, figure 3).

 Long on Biceps
Biceps are one of the smaller muscle groups, and they don't need the same period of recuperation as a large muscle group like quads or back.
As you complete each rep, visualize the biceps working, make mental contact with the muscle as it rolls into a contraction, and form an image of the peak swelling.
The range of exercises I employ ensures that every aspect of the biceps muscles receive full stimulation: dumbbell curls for peak; barbell curls for all around mass; one arm cable curls to enhance shape; and rope hammer curls for forearm and brachialis tie in development.

 TheArnoldFans.com: Biceps
Arnold likes to do this exercise at the end of his biceps training because it is one of the best means of peaking the muscle.

This is a very strict movement but it is for height not definition, so use as much weight as you can handle.

 eMedicine - Biceps Rupture : Article by Gary L Branch, DO
Patients with biceps tendon ruptures, whether treated conservatively or with surgical repair, frequently are referred to outpatient facilities for physical or occupational therapy.
Background: Biceps brachii, one of the dominant muscles of the arm, is involved in functional activities of the upper limb, both as a result of its size and its orientation about both the shoulder and elbow joints.
Pathophysiology: The biceps muscle and its tendons are some of the most superficial structures of the arm.

 Biceps vs. Brachialis Strain
When the biceps is injured, both resisted supination of the forearm and resisted elbow flexion are painful.
Both the brachialis and the biceps flex the elbow, but only the biceps supinates the forearm (so brachialis strain does not cause pain on resisted supination).
To perform a successful treatment, the practitioner needs to determine which structure is injured and where on the muscle tendon unit the injury has occurred.
