    Big Arms

    Hey guys. I've been lifting for a couple months now (since October) and recently I've been seeing no progress in my arms. my biceps are good and I can tell they've gotten a bit bigger but my triceps look like they have shrunken; therefore, making my arm look smaller. I usually do dips and tricep extensions to work them out. I only have dumbells but I don't know what other workouts I can do to get them bigger. I'm really looking to get big arms. Any help or advice is much appreciated!

    your workout is beyond awful.

    squats, deads, bench, rows, overhead should make up the bulk of your training.


    get on 5x5 and eat more, and you'll get bigger.

    Horrible routine mate... Go on a 5x5 or on Allpros beginner routine. Or at least on a push/pull or upper/lower.
