if you wanted to flex your arm, and both your biceps and triceps contracted simultaneously, what would happen?

a) What would happen would depend upon which muscle exerts the greater force (or more precisely, the greatest torque). If equal, then the arm would not move.
b) The gluteus maximus is the largest human muscle.
