I think you just need to EAT MORE bro. At 6', 165lbs, even if you're "cut", that's pretty small for 8 years of lifting. Start eating big, then lifting big and your arms will get big.
I don't believe what I'm about to say is entirely true for all people as some just have super arm genetics, but when I was in highschool I never trained back really, and never legs. No matter what I ate I could not get heavier than 168lbs and I really did eat alot. My arms never got bigger than 14.5" no matter how hard I worked them or how often.
Now I'm 212lbs and I train them maybe once every 2-3 weeks for 20 minutes and they measure 16.5". Nothing worth bragging about, but people think they're pretty big when to me they're still small lol. You can see the correlation between overall bodyweight and size and how it affects arms size from this I think.
So what I'm saying is if you increase your overall size and msucle mass, well your arms really don't have a choice, but to grow bigger to stay in proportion. At this rate I won't be surprised when I'm 250lbs that my arms will be 18-19" barely training them directly.
Bombarding your arms is not the answer to bigger arms. Hard work on the basic compound movements combined with lots of food and proper rest is the key. A prime example is gymnasts. Some of those guy's that have decent muscle building genetics get pretty fantastically built in the upper body from just doing lots of hard basic compound exercises like dips, pullups, chinups etc that naturally occur in their routines from training the still rings, pommel horse and parallel bars etc. I doubt they spend time blasting away at their biceps and yet they have guns.
Basic exercises, hard work, plenty of food and proper rest and patience and time. We live in a culture that has raised us to be dependant on getting instantaneous results or satisfaction, but with lifting it doesn't work that way unless you've got super genetics, and based on what I can see, most guy's fall at least somewhat short of super genetics generally and by alot most of the time. Hard work and time is the equalizer to some extent. Keep lifting, eat more, get stronger and the size will come.
