When flexing your arm you would use shoulder muscles, mainly the deltoids and pectoralis major. If you flex your elbow (which most people think means flexing your arm, but is really the forearm), then you would use your biceps, brachialis. and brachioradialis muscles, which would be three muscles, depending on the orientation of the forearm.
