I've been working out for almost a year now, and my arms (both biceps and triceps) have grown noticeably bigger. However, I don't seem get 'aethestic'/'chiseled' features in my arms. They just stay bulky (and fat?) like in pic related. They only look nice when I flex.
I dont seem to have this problem with my other muscles (pecs, abs, legs, ...). It's just my arms.
I'm not fat either (9-10% body fat), but for some reason all my fat seems to be stored in my arms.
What should I do to get more aesthetically looking arms? Do cardio? Try different exercices? Please help me /fit/.
PS: pic related are not my arms, but mine look very similar.

tbqh if your arms look like that you're WAY ahead of the general population.
That being said, one of the reasons may be because you haven't mixed up your exercises and you may need to cut a little more (I know you're <10%) to make them pop. Also try some diet mods, too.
You're doing well though.

Well life sucks if that's true lol

Thanks bro, I'm indeed sticking to the same exercices for biceps, so you're probably right. I will definitely do some more cutting and look up some new exercices!

work more on your rear delt and delts in general

There's a very simple reason, you're not actually 9-10% bodyfat.

Oh fug is this true? I always wondered why I have shredded abs but my arms and legs are kinda chubby. Any source on this info? Google didn't turn anything up

It is true. But is not black-and-white like he's saying. There's other hormones into play, like cortisol.
But yea
> females will store fat on thighs, butt, upper arms, tits
> males will display a lower bf%, generally with fat deposition on belly, not arms nor legs
> cortisol will make you store fat on face, belly, all round

Whelp looks like I'm fucked. Anything I can do about it without taking hormones? I don't exhibit other signs of low test :/

Have better genetics.

If that's the only sign, there's nothing to worry about. You can increase you DHT levels by eating more beef and other red meat, taking creatine, being very active (everyday). All in all, I think that once you're under 15% bf, gynoid distribution is indeed "aesthetics", since you get visible abs and thicker arms, and not enough fat to make any difference in tits or thighs.
