You may consider the biceps muscles tension to be completely canceled at the shoulder to which they are connected.  You may also consider the shoulder to not contribute any additional torque on the system. If the Submitter (the one applying the armbar and trapping the arm) is applying a force of 400 Newtons at the opponent’s wrist and pushes the opposite direction at the hips with a force of 400 Newtons, what tension force must the opponent’s biceps exert to balance this torque and hold off the armbar? Keeping in mind that the biceps muscles are much smaller than the quadriceps muscles of the legs, should the opponent “tap out” (this is polite for YOU WIN, or cry Uncle, or I give up, or ouch)? We can assume here the flexing the opponent’s biceps here is the only option left for escape.
