arms get stronger...but not bigger?
my arms have gotten much stronger over the last 6 months but they are still the same size. Not to mention, im told they look big, but in reality they are only a little over 16 inches, and in my opinion, narrow. Now that my body has gotten a lot bigger, they dont look any near as out of proportionly big as they used to, which is what id LOVE. What can i do to get some real arm size

You have lot in common with me in liking the big arm look.
Go careful here, as a lot of guys will have a go at you for not trying to be in proportion.
But if you like that look and I certainly do, ignore them! it's your body.
Mine were stuck at 17 inches for ages and the only whey I got them growing again was with working the triceps twice a week. Concentrate on the triceps for a fuller look to your arms.
BTW 16 inches is a good size, I remember reading the average arm size for a guy is only around 14.Tennis balls?...........my Biceps are as big as Grapefruits!

lol well id expect SOME results, it used to be much quicker.
what i used to do was 4 sets of whichever bicep work out i wanted that day, every workout.
now i cut it down and put in an entire day for arms...which will be today actualy, of whichever exercise i feel wen i get there, 10 sets of 10, and 2 sets of 10 with preacher curls afterwords

I must agree with Bxbombers, your arms will not grow overnight. I think at 5'9" 175lbs and being only 17, our 17" arms are something to be proud of. How many other kids walking around high school have defined 17" arms? Anyway, I would certainly incorporate into your routine, some close grip bench, reverse cable curls, and skull crushers, all in the 4 to 6 rep range. In addition the more muscle mass you add to your body, the larger your arms will get too.
