Burpees Biceps?

How do burpees work the biceps. There is no action during the entire exercise that forces me to contract my biceps to my knowledge. I've heard this is a full body exercise and assumed that would include the biceps. Any information would be helpful.

It doesnt "work the biceps." It is considered to be a full body excercise because it "works" the important stuff and is a great conditioning tool.

Do your burpees with no hands, it really builds the gunz.

Next time you go down to do a burpee, don't catch yourself with your hands.

The pump I had afterwards in my biceps was awesome when I last tried it.
