I'm 5'9 with a little more than 6'5 wig span. It's hard for us to be good at upper body presses (longer range of motion) and even with a nice arm measures a guy with the shorts arms and even less thickness looks better... That sucks.

let's see some pics of you so we can judge if your arms are indeed small for your size, or if they are (as I think) probably in proportion with the rest of you.

At 6 feet tall and 195 lbs., I'd say you just need more overall mass.

This is why you are an Elite Mentor.

OP. You don't need a fancy arm specialization routine. You need to spend more time at the dinner table and a few years in the squat rack and on the DL platform. Eating big and slinging heavy slag is what will build your arms. Not cable curls and french presses.

Your arms should look like hams hanging from wooden rafters (you shoulders/chest/back) and you legs should look like tree trunks. To achieve this look, lift heavy weight overhead and repeat.

I want to keep it clean for a couple years, before I try another cycle...
