Triceps Brachii
The triceps brachii is split into two parts, the lateral head and the long head. The lateral head is more lateral and is "smaller," than the long head. The long head is longer and closer to the side of the arm
How-To: Locating the tricep should be fairly easy. Look to the lateral side of the arm, there will be a layer of connective tissue to remove. Like all muscles, under the connective tissue there will be a small line visible from above that signals a separation of two muscles.

Triceps lateral head
The lateral head, in this picture, is labeled 1. This is the shorter of the two heads.
Triceps long head The long head is labeled 2. this runs parallel to the side of the arm, and is longer than the lateral head.

The biceps brachii can be difficult to find. It generally requires cutting around and below the pectoralis, and into the arm to get a clear view.
How-To: Cut the pectoralis major, and anything else blocking your view of the biceps. then you will see an isolated, thick string of muscle, clear away the connective tissue and the extraneous muscles that should be your biceps. It is located near the brachialis, although you should reach the brachialis if you probe with the pig's chest up.
