    No arm gains

    I used to be underweight at eight stone and bulked up to nine stone and had a lot of gains and was pretty lean, then i bulked up to ten stone but my arms have only gotten about half an inch bigger after a 14 pound gain and it was a clean bulk. Could this be because im an ecto or something?

    Edit: I have had huge strength gains though

    Did your arm training change?

    Maybe your last bulk was Mainly fat because you were not training or resting properly

    What are your arm measurements?

    If you want arm gains, you need to work arms. If you're just doing SS with no arm accessory work, you won't get much growth. Idk what your routine is, but chances are either you aren't working your arms enough or you aren't getting enough protein in. Or you had less muscle to begin with than you thought you did.

    I've seen more arm gains in the past 3 months than I have in the past three years because I started to add direct arm work and get enough protein.
    For triceps I do skull crushers , weighted dips, and overhead triceps extensions. for biceps I do incline curls, preacher curls, and hammer curls.

    You may be over/under training. I recommend looking into buying Chris acetos bodybuilding anatomy/nutrition book it has a lot of helpful things.
    As for arms what's worked for me and a lot of people I know and have read about are 4 tricep excersices of 4 sets 8-12 reps and 3 bicep excersices of 4 sets 8-12
