    Arms Won't Grow

    I'm 17, I'm 5'10 and weigh 180. My arms have been at 15" for over a year now. I work my arms hard, I also diet pretty well. Can someone tell me how to get past this? Here's my arm workout that I do once a week.

    Preacher Curls 5x20
    Seated Dumbell Curls 4x12
    Seated Hammer Curls 4x10
    Reverse EZ Bar Curls 4x10
    Straight Bar Cable Curls 5x20
    V-Bar Pushdowns 5x20
    Rope Overhead Extensions 4x15
    Triceps Kickbacks 5x10
    Triceps Rope Extensions 5x20
    Triangle Push-ups 5x12-20

    I really think you're doing too much.You are still young/growing so I wouldn't be concerned.Cut back on that arm routine,and include Preacher curls for size and Scott curls for peak,use a comfortable weight,nothing heavy.Are you eating enough and having rest/recovery days? You really should.

    I have recovery days on Saturday and Sunday. I'm currently consuming 3,350 calories a day.

    You're doing a stupid amount of volume.

    I would cut 80% of this and work on moving progressively heavier weight on the exercises that you keep.

    E.g. if you were doing an upper lower, I would do a few ez-curl/skullcrusher supersets 1 day and a few hammer curl/tricep pushdown supersets the other upper day. That's it for the week.

    With this much arm work, you're basically doing cardio for your arms.
    You can't help the hopeless.

    It is with people like you that this sport will never grow. "When you say, everything and anything to be pro, do you mean even to turn HOMO?...

    Are you taking steroids? No? Then don't ever listen to pro bodybuilders until you are.
