Do a lot of compound movements when you are not lifting on your arm days. You can easily google compound lifts that incorporate arms.

On your arms day, don't focus too much on strength, rather lower the weight and focus on the form and squeezing at the peak of the lift. For example, if you're doing curls, focus on squeezing your biceps at the peak of the curl, and then descend the weight slowly and repeat. Do about 10-12 reps.

Lastly, triceps make up 2/3 of your arm. Your bicep is 1/3. So working out your triceps give the illusion of bigger arms.

Focus on firearms too

I watched one of those celebrity trainers on YT, for curls he had the clients rotate the dumbbell inward as they curled the weight up, try it, you’ll feel a great additional burn in the bicep peak.

Also Jeff cavalier does these supersetted single dumbbell curls (or with a plate), hold the dumbbell vertically with both hands, palms up then curl it while maintaining a flat palm facing up, actually burns so much!

Chin-ups and dips if you can, add weights when they get easy

I do skull crushers super-setted with bicep curls, along with wide grip barbell curls. Arms 2 days per week gained me an inch in circumference after 4 weeks. Having a cable for rope pull downs will definitely help. Look up vintage genetics for arm workouts.

Dude what the fuck. Go read ANY advice on how to do this and you’ll figure it out.

You’re small because you’re lazy.

Triceps > biceps

I am 6'2.5"

I bulk up to 360 lbs arround and cut to 275 lbs.

To get a frame go for legs.

Arms develop on strong deadlifts and seal rows as well.

If you want to hit arms do rows under the table, one armed, push ups and one armed push ups, overhead push ups against a wall.

For Bis Hammer curls help make them wider from the front. As for the peak really focus on the squeeze at the top, too many people unknowingly use other muscles when curling. You can see videos of pros using relatively light weight and still getting worn out since they’re focusing solely on the muscle.

As for tris the same method applies. Varies per person but I’ve had the most success with overheard db extensions, I’m guessing it’s due to the stretch they provide at the bottom.

Forearms too, don’t use wrist braces or straps when lifting and they’ll get big on their own but doing exercises like the one where you twist a rod to pull a weight up(idk the name) has blown mine up
