Unless a female takes steroids/test/growth hormones, it's highly unlikely you can get muscular physiques like men even if you lift heavy... Lifting heavy in your case makes your body have a much better shape to say the least!

If it were so easy for you women to get big muscular arms, I'd be competing in Mr Olympia since we guys can put on twice the lean mass as you do in the same amount of time.

Back to reality.

Even if you wanted to gain a significant amount of muscle mass to acquire "big muscular arms," that requires eating a surplus of calories - lifting as heavy as you possibly can without a calorie surplus will just allow you to maintain your present lean mass. Since we muscular guys do not increase lean mass by lifting heavy while dieting, neither will you.
