How the hell do I get bigger arms? I've been lifting for about 8 months now and haven't seen any arm growth, not a single inch. Should I focus on arms less? I workout 3 days a week, making decent progress on all my lifts. I currently do 3x5, focusing on arms with tricep pull downs and bicep curls with 45 lb dumbbells currently. Should I increase my reps? Add more isolated arm workouts?

lifts? what program u on

if you were on SS/SL don't expect to look amazing after

What are your lifts?
>>
If you're progressing on lifts involving the arm muscles , truly progressing with solid form (increases weight and reps over time ) then your arms are growing . Arms take a while to produce noticeable changes . Focus instead on increasing lifts involving arms
>>
Triceps are a large part of your arms. If your tris are large your arms will look big. I have always had luck with triceps pulldowns (v-angled short bar and rope), dips, and push-ups + close grip dumbbell chest presses.

Try going for volume on biceps, dropping 10 lbs. when you can't do a full 8-12 rep set.

You should also go the gym more often or pack in complimentary exercises on the days you do go. If you have a leg day, you can get some arm work in.

This what works for me, YMMV

Dont do 3x5 on arms, thats silly, do 3x8-12

I do SS with accessory lifts.
Bench 235
Squat 315
Ohp 135
DL 355

I'm 180 lbs.

Like I said in my original post, my accessory workouts are tricep pull downs, bicep curls, as well as pull ups and dips.

Nice stats for your size mane.

I would honestly say keep doing what you're doing. If you can still linearly progress on SS, do it. And eat more food filling dem macros. Give it some time.

Did you get those stats on SS alone?

>>39432307
how are you so strong but so dyel? (no offense I look worse)
>>
>>39432344
Yes. Progress is starting to slow down though.
>>
>>39432307
Do pullups. They're good for biceps and you'll look significantly better with some lats instead of what you have going on right now.

Idk those are kinda shitty pics though. Maybe because I've been focusing on just strength instead of hypertrophy.
>>
>>39432351
Meh, I'm the same as him (weaker in bench, stronger in deadlift) but look pretty dyel. It's hard to look big at 6'2 under 200lb.
>>
>>39432006
pull ups
>>
>>39432216
You look like shit for those stats
>>
>>39432474
I know but I've been focusing on strength instead of physique this entire time. All I want is bigger arms right now.

So you do them all in one day?

I've just been doing three sets of triceps pulldowns on my leg days; should I be doing more?
