    Arms won't grow

    I've been going to the gym consistently now for about 6 months and I'm seeing significant progress in my chest and back, and I've seen some progress in my arms but it's not nearly as much as the rest of my body and I don't know why this is. I'm keeping my nutrition and recovery in check but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have any idea as to why this is?

    Here's my workout and nutrition for some reference

    Monday - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
    Tuesday - Back/Biceps/forearms
    Wednesday - Legs/Calves
    Thursday - Chest/Shoulders/triceps
    Friday - Back/Biceps/forearms
    Saturday - Legs/Cardio
    Sunday - Rest Day

    Daily Nutrition Avg

    Calories - 3200
    Fat - 100g
    Carbs - 350g
    Protien 265g

    Supplements
    Muscletech Whey Protein
    Dymatize Creatine Monohydrate

    arms grow slowly compared to most other body parts for most people

    how tall are you and how much do you weigh? and list the actual exercises you do, split means nothing

    keep training , dont get discouraged. i doubt there many people out there that are satisfied with the size of their arms.
    dont do too much, more work will not mean more gains, keep your volume in check
    progress on your exercises, when was the last time you increased the weight on your skullcrushers? if you find it hard increasing weight on that, do weighted dips and chinups, try different exercises.

    Start doing db curls.
    Increase the weight by 25lbs over time.
    You will see some gains.
    If somehow not, increase for another 25lbs.

    By then you will definitely have some decent arms.

    The key to arm gains is volume. Make sure your taking both your biceps and triceps to failure at least three times a week.

    If you're not gaining weight, your arms aren't going to grow. How much weight have you put on in the past six months?
