I don't believe that triceps curl is the correct term, as the triceps serve to extend the elbow joint rather than flex it. Triceps extensions, on the other hand, are generally used to train the triceps group, but they also benefit a rather small muscle, located almost on the elbow, called the anconeus. The function of the anconeus is to assist the main elbow extensors, the triceps, and to stabilize the elbow when the arm is straight.

Do muscles always work in pairs?
Yes they do, they're called antagonistic pairs. However, I have also heard that there is a paradox that happens when you try to stand up from a sitting position which should be impossible because your hamstings and quadriceps are both contracting at the same time rather than one contracting and the other relaxing as antagonistic pairs should work.

Being able to do more than 12 bicep curls will help improve what?
hey, being able to succeed in doing 12 or more bicep curls will improve mostly your muscular endurance. This is so since you are doing repititions which involve your ability to lift weights as much as you can. Lifting weights can get hard, especially with bicep curls thats why you have to especially keep trying. Doing 12 or more bicep curls does improve muscular strength but not as much as muscular endurance. This is because bicep curls are already consisting of strength in your bicep muscles but it is meant being done more than once (or one try) thanks:)!
