If you're already strength training and you suddenly do more than 50% extra workouts per week, your biceps and triceps might grow a bit more—but if you only increase a little or even cut back, you won't see a big difference in muscle size compared to those who ramped it up a lot.

If you're someone who regularly lifts weights, doing more triceps exercises each week might help your triceps muscles get a little bigger—but only a little, and not as much as it helps your biceps.

If you're lifting weights regularly, doing more reps and sets might make your biceps grow bigger, but it doesn't seem to help your triceps grow as much—your arms might just respond differently to extra work.

If you're already strength training and you do more sets of bicep exercises each week, your biceps tend to get thicker — and this link isn't just luck, it's a real pattern.

If you're someone who lifts weights for fun and not professionally, your upper arm muscles grow about the same amount near the shoulder, middle, and elbow—no matter if you do more or the same number of sets and reps.

If you're a regular gym-goer, doing workouts that group similar muscle moves together or alternate them doesn't seem to make a difference in how much stronger or bigger your muscles get after 8 weeks.
