When you bend your elbows and clench your fists these muscles bulge?

When you bend your elbows and clench your fists, the primary muscles that bulge are the biceps brachii in the upper arm and the brachialis underneath it. The biceps contract to flex the elbow and bring the forearm toward the shoulder, while the brachialis assists in this movement. Additionally, the forearm muscles, such as the flexor muscles, engage to clench the fist, contributing to the overall bulge of muscle. This coordinated action highlights the strength and function of the muscles involved in arm and hand movements.

Why do you need both biceps and triceps to move the lower arm up and down at the elbow?

Because muscles can not push, they can only pull (contract). So while your biceps contract to pull the arm up into a flexed position; the triceps are necessary to pull the arm back down into an extended position. Skeletal muscles or groups of skeletal muscles must work in pairs. These pairs are called "antagonistic" muscles; while one group is contracting, the other group is relaxing. You can easily feel this action in your arm. With your right arm extended, place you left hand on your right biceps. Flex your arm (as if to make a big muscle) and you will feel the biceps brachii tighten and bulge somewhat; we are familiar with this. Now, place your left hand on your triceps and straighten the right arm completely (extra straight) and you should be able to feel the triceps brachii tighten. Although aided by gravity, the triceps MUST contract to straighten the arm.
