"To be honest, there's no real magic for arms. If there was I'd think the noodle arm curler boys would have lucked into it by now through sheer brute force and strength of numbers. Arms tend to be fairly genetic, they grow in line with the body. Take a group of individuals all with proper training and getting stronger at the big lifts, some have an easy time getting big arms, others don't and this isn't their training, this is just their genetics. Some guys are going to have oversized arms and some will have undersized arms.
No real magic combo. Certainly worth some concerted effort but you aren't going to detrain, strengthen, and hypertrophy this tiny little bodypart to big new gains on any kind of reliable consistent basis in isolation from everything else (meaning it may work but it's not something you are going to pull off reliably as a technique and transfer to others - although maybe if your rows, pulls, or bodyweight went up during the layoff it might seem to really work)."
