So I plan on starting the THT 2 workout soon. I have been looking over the workout and one thing that stands out to me is the number of sets for arms. The workout recommends 7 sets for biceps and 6 for triceps. Can anyone explain why these muscles have so many sets, because I usually do about half the sets for arms that I would do for a larger muscle group.

Simple - there is no advantage to letting your arms off easy. If anything, cutting the reps too short would put you outside your anabolic window. For more nuts and bolts, as always, Mark explains it best.
