From the dictionary, it looks like biceps and triceps get the "le" since they're masculine:

But sometimes they are referred to as plural:
and sometimes singular:
In cases where we need to translate the biceps
, is it both acceptable to translate it into les/le biceps
since the plurality is ambiguous? e.g.
English | French | Singular / Plural |
---|---|---|
the left and right biceps | les biceps gauche et droit | PL |
the left biceps | le biceps gauche | SG |
the right biceps | le biceps droit | SG |
the biceps | les biceps / le biceps | PL / SG |
