    you have the same problem i use to have, my chest and back exploded but the arms weren't happening. just a gen rule of thumb, make a whole day on arms, not a chest, tri and back, bi thing. do supersets w/ them too.

    Wow, your concerned with your biceps?! Gimme a fukin break. Hard to tell from the one pic but I bet your back, quads, hams, lats, tris, etc all need more work than your biceps. Why dont you focus on squats and deadlifting, and benching and rows. Increase those lifts and your arms will increase. Maybe try eating too! For 8 months of lifting it doesn't look like youve done much. If I come off as a dick, good, but understand that what I'm saying is right. You dont need a day dedicated to arms for fuks sake! Find a good beginner routine thats focuses on core lifts, compound lifts...not fukin curls. At your level, you need almost no direct arm work to increase size and you sure as hell dont need to have direct arm work as a focus. And yeas I know exaxlty what its like, I started at 6' and 135lbs, WAYYY skinnier than you at 5'10" 145lbs.

    yeah i dont really see why people act like pricks on these forums when someones obviously coming on here with a positive attitude looking for direction from others who know a bit more than he does. it's not a competition who has the most knowledge, just help people out and keep these forums cool.

    Yeah, I see what you're saying, I was also the same.
    However my solution was quite different. I tried giving a full session to bi's and tri's (seperately), but it just didn't work for me.
    What did work, was when I got strong enough to do a decent set of pullups/chinups. As soon as started doing these (as well as dips) my arms began to really grow, and in no-time I was shoving on a 45 plate to my pullups/chinups & dips. 3x8 one session, 3x5 the next session, then 3x15 the next session. altering the weight to compensate.

    So I half agree with this post. Though I reckon its important to hit your arms, I reckon doing them as part of Dips & pullups/chinups is an essential part of your workout. and you won't have to hit them much more. possibly only a set of curls & tricep extensions at first to stimulate your arm growth.

    The only thing you have to worry about is what day to put them into. (If you do a bodypart per day routine). Dips on arms day, or chest day and pullups/chinups on arms day or back day? your call.
