When I tense my bicep my neck contracts and tongue tip?

I’m 25, Australian, dealt with the entire bfs/twitching thing and let it go many years ago. So this is me posting out of not being scared, just curious.

Back in my times of paranoia, and I’ve just been reminded and curious as I never got an answer - and it’s really not bfs related.

When I tense my right arm/bicep, there is a visible twitch in my neck and tip of tongue (contracts inwards like a snake), it contracts (neck and tongue) for as long as I tense my arm, then stops when I stop. It never does this on its own.

I always wondered why this is; and if anyone is aware of it? In my paranoid times I never brought this up during the standard neuro visits, emg or even mri. I also never came close to finding a reason via google.

Just curious if anyone here can do this or has an idea?

to make my question make more sense: When I tense my arms, depending which side i tensed, that side of my neck TWINGES at my voicebox area, and the tip of my tongue twitches together as if im pointing it, all due to me tensing my bicep i beleive. it NEVER twitches unless i do this.
