Here me out before you scoff!
This idea presupposes that you are doing a consistent weight training program, eating and sleeping properly, and are not taking any ergogenic aids that can dramatically affect your protein synthesis.
Let us assume that the average bodybuilder can gain 1 inch on his biceps after 4 months of consistent and progressive training. This particular individual works out his biceps twice a week.
So if this person does biceps twice a week, and there are roughly 4 weeks in a month, then he worked out his biceps for 8 workouts.
8 workout for biceps a month, 4 months of training = 32 biceps workout which resulted in an INCH of growth.
So going backwards, if this person got an inch of growth after 4 months (32 workouts) then he gained 0.25 inches (0.625 cm or 6.25mm) on his biceps after training for a month (8 workouts).
Going further backwards, if 8 workouts resulted in 0.25 inches (0.635 cm or 6.35 mm) of bicep growth then the very first workout must have resulted in 0.03125 inches (0.079 cm or 0.79 mm or 79 micrometer) of growth.
Thus, we can assume that in every workout, assuming all preconditions are satisfied, muscle size (or at least bicep size) increases anywhere between 79-80 micrometers in size. Larger muscle groups may see a larger increase in size (~ 100 micrometers) but that's just an assumption.
Note! This only applies to newbies or people who have not trained for a long time! Intermediate and advanced trainers will not see such dramatic increases in size.
Edit: Before you guys say I'm drunk, I just popped 2 Nootropimax pills today and this is the result of a lazy Saturday afternoon which nothing much to do
