Ah yes ,I am natty ,but I feel that I can get a little bit more .
For biceps:biceps curls ,superset(biceps pullups and seated Hammer curls ) , and some cable bicep curls using knee for isolation +another exercise if it s the case
Triceps: dips ,dumbell skull crusher,overhead dumbell press and rope pushdown +another exercise if it s the case

I took a 3 month deload (July - Sept). Did a light full body workout once every 7-10 days for 3 months. Lost 1/2" on my cold arms. Went from 16.25" to 15.75". I've been working out regularly for the last 3 weeks and this morning I was 16.25" cold right out of bed. I'd been stuck at 16.25" for about a year. I'm going to see if this deload can help me get through this 16.25" plateau.

Side 1:
- myo-reps
- dropsets
- SST method (Patrick Tuor)
- partial ROM
- cluster sets
- failure and then do negatives (partner may be needed)
- blood flow restriction
- ramping sets
Side 2:
- bench more
- row more
- eat more
Whatever! I don't know... I don't have 40.5 cm arms... I guess. Man, I need a ruler!

My poverty biceps finally started growing when I added some straight arm work on gymnastic rings. Specifically pseudo-planche pushups on rings and L-sit holds. I apply progressive overload for the former by increasing the lean over time and lowering the rings, for the latter by working on turning the rings out to a supinated position. That may not work for you but worth a shot? It’s also a different stimulus for the biceps than all the curling motions.

Triceps are 2/3 of the arm. So do something for the long head like kickbacks or extensions.
Then do something to hammer the medial and lateral heads like rope pulldowns. Use a long rope or 2 short ropes for these.
For the elbow flexors, train more than just the biceps. Do hammer curls for the brachialis (probably misspelled off the top of my head but whatever) and Zottman or reverse curls for the pronator teres.
For the biceps themselves, preacher or spider curls for the short head, and incline or drag curls for the long head.
You could turn this into an arm-focused upper if you wanted. Just kick it off with a triceps compound like dips or CGBP or JM presses.Age: 30

I have a unique approach. I never change the exercises(2 each muscle) but each month I instead switch from 3 sets each exercise(high volume) to 1 failure set each(low volume). As far as exercises(done in superset fashion), chins and zottmans for biceps, dips(always look for implements you can use a closer grip width on!) and french presses for triceps, farmers walks and wrist rolling(I count both directions as 1 rep but if you can only manage one, go for extension, because there's so few opportunities it's ever used in routines) for forearms. I have other supers for the other muscle groups, but for arms these seem to hit those areas the hardest. If you don't have anywhere to do dips, underhand close grip benchpresses hit the triceps pretty hard too. Quite a bit harder than regular close grip benches do.

My arms are 20'' and I'm natty (they were 17.5'' in my pic at 5'7'') I suggest heavy hammer curls for high reps, kickbacks and seated dumbell extensions for triceps
