big chest skinny arms issue

[Razormachine]

Hi guys I'm 22 years old and I have been lifting for 3 years heavy, I'm developing mass like crazy but the sad part is that my chest is getting bigger than my arms, I spend the same amount of hours working out on each one and my Chest grows easily but limb muscles on my arms grow very little , could be this genetic or should I stop working out on my chest for a while and spend more time on my arms to make them look proportional to my chest, thank you.

sometimes stuff like this is just genetic. do you have long and lanky arms? if so it may appear your arms aren't growing when you are just being hard on yourself

Genetic. But you can focus more on the arms to get them to respond also try diff techniques. Like tut training or hiit. To force fatigue and growth.

Im reversed. My arms grow easy. But I have to destroy my chest to make it grow even a little. The struggle is real brother

I find that most people with poor arm development are simply using way too much weight and are 'swinging' the exercises rather then contracting with the bicep muscle. Keep your elbows tucked into your body. Your elbows should remain locked throughout the entire movement. If you elbows are swinging, your deltoids are doing the movement and not your biceps/triceps.

There are two different tricep heads and you need to do both over head and press down exercises to properly train both.There are two bicep heads in your bicep. The long bicep head is the outer bicep head and the short bicep head is the inner bicep head (the head that is closest to your chest). Both biceps heads are used to contract the biceps whenever you do a bicep exercise but you can prioritize which bicep head does the majority of the work by changing your grip width.

A wide grip (wider then shoulder width) prioritizes the inner (short) bicep heap.
A narrow grip (narrower then shoulder width) privatizes the outer (long) bicep head.

Try training biceps and triceps twice per week. Add in 2-3 exercises for biceps after your back workout, and 2-3 exercises for triceps after your chest workout. Then later in the week perform an arm workout where you superset biceps and triceps.

Totally agree except there are three tricep heads.

I would spend time on pull ups and heavy tricep exercises like close grip bench.
