The "middle" part of a muscle is the muscle belly. For instance, the peak of the biceps is the belly of that muscle - it is the part of the biceps musculotendinous unit that can be contracted, as in "make a muscle" when flexing the biceps.

Musculotendinous unit: A muscle is anchored at both ends, usually by tendons, so that when a muscle is flexed or shortened concentrically, the muscle fibers pull closer together and the tendons pull on the bones that they are attached to, closing the joint angle that the muscle affects - in this case, bringing the forearm closer to the upper arm, decreasing the joint angle at the elbow.
