When you flex your arm you're performing a what contraction?
When you flex your arm, you're performing a concentric contraction. This type of contraction occurs when a muscle shortens while generating force, allowing you to lift or move a weight. During the flexion of your arm, the biceps brachii muscle contracts and shortens, resulting in the bending of the elbow.
