Deadlift, Heavy Rows, Close Grip Bench.

Werd, heavy shit makes you grow... compound movements and tris make up IMO 2/3 of your arm...

although im an advocate of full body workouts i must say i disagree with what this guy writes. I can say that in my first 2 years of weight training (A time in which i had no idea what i was doing) i put serious size onto my arms without ever working legs at all. I didnt even know what a deadlift was. I curled heavy as hell and did pressdowns till my arms fell off and they grew like weeds up to around 18 inches. Now 5 years later theyre still around 18 inches maybe a bit bigger but i quite measurin but the rest of me has caught up.

Post up your current workout routines.

Surprising growth in the beginner stage of weight training is not uncommon, sometimes regardless of what form of training is used.

You say your arms have not grown in 5 years.

What are you going to do to make them grow now?

Compound movements + a lot of food

When I started lifting my arms were sitting at 14"...fast forward better part of a year and I'm at 15"...my forearms and biceps are stuck but my pecks and back are blowin up...I don't get it...I kinda look funny with a ripped chest and tiny arms

Should I not work back and pecks and do only arm exercises? I don't understand why I am not gaining on arm workouts...or size...

Great thread... plus keep in mind, while no lifter should ever really feel satisfied (complacency is the enemy) you HAVE made progress. In less than 12 months you have gained an inch circumference on your arm.... If that rate maintains itself you'll have 18 inch arms in two years, twenty inch arms in four. Now progress is rarely at a constant rate, and in fact tends to drop off at some point, but don't dismiss how far you've come because it isn't quite as far as you wish. Eat up, keep progressing with the weight and the gains will come.
