Has anyone not used a strap from the shoulder to the bicep?

I was looking around at armor reference pictures and I am sure this has probably been discussed, but it seems clear that there isnt a strap holding the bicep to the shoulder. Has anyone ever built their armor this way?

Some with larger biceps have decided not use the strap as the bicep sits tight enough on the arm and doesn't fall

 

You may notice some troopers in ESB with very low biceps, appears they didn't use the shoulder/bicep strapping

 

They can also rotate if not tight enough on the arm

Screen accurate builds since as early as 2010 at least, have been built without the shoulder-bicep strap.

Well maybe I will give it a try and see what I think.

I don't currently have a strap from teh Bicep to the Shoulder but I am going to put one on because I have one bicep that likes to come loose and rotate.  I have the ABS hooks that the elastic hangs onto as it goes across the opening of the bicep but depending on how I move it can jump the track so to speak and then it moves around and gets wonky.
