Dr. Amir Khan answered

REST an injury: Question is unclear. However, if your biceps is "hurt" from a sports injury then you should allow it to heal and recover fully. If you attempt to compensate to accomodate the injured biceps then you may employ improper technqiues and mechanics putting you at risk of additional injury to the same or different body part.
