How long into lifting did you start prioritizing weaknesses?

Add more sets of bicep and tricep isolations to your pp days

Small muscle groups such as your arms and Delts and calves (abs you can do every day, check the science) can be done multiple times per week. You should dive into Renaissance Periodization and Juggernaut Strength. You'll find all your answers there.

to answer your title when you add 1 or two plates on the compounds. You can hit arms 3-4 times a week or 2 days ( same volume ). you need to test how much your arms can take

Until it's been exactly 2 and a half years, there's no point /s. It's all arbitrary. People tell beginners not focus on weak parts because they have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

You'd probably be considered an intermediate at this point. Simply start adding more volume to the body parts you want to bring up. You may find you have to lower volume in other areas to do this, in that case; bring volume down for your strengths. As for how often to hit them to get them big, really two times a week is the minimum for any body part. You can do more which seems to be beneficial, but can lead to connective tissue strain or damage overtime.

A lot of people get huge on PPL, just worry about your volume. Volume is everything for getting big.

I do my own version of PPL that's push and legs on day A then Pull and legs on day B (You just need to lower intensity enough on the legs to fit recovery)

You can do biceps every day (Can take 10 sets every day easily) , I usually do triceps 3 times a week but can be more if i can be arsed.

The thing that really started making them pop for me was i significantly upped my pull up and dip volume on the side, apart from that it just takes time.

Add presses, chin-ups and barbell rows to your routine.
