So, if I do Dips Behind the Back (15/15/12/10) and Can Curls (15/15/12/10) every non-ab workout day will this increase my overall ab thickness?

Do you not have any access to weights? Free weights in my opinion have the best exercises for arms.....Overtime with the correct diet it should build mass. However that seems like alot of reps especially if you want to get thicker....High reps seem better for definition rather than mass.....Go Heavy (well what is heavy to you)

Depends golden gloves......i do high reps like that and my my arms are pretty big? See what works for you..however to add armsize and strength your gonna have to add mass to your overall body. How many 120lb guys you see with 21 in arms? Diet is also the key.

Good point....You are a larger guy then me so I think it is easier for you to get bigger arms.....But high reps for something like dips just seem like a definition workout and not really a mass...Adding weights would be beneficial like BB1 told me but Im new to the dip thing so Im not really sure....Guess I will find out as time goes on and I keep doing them.

Good point but it is hard as hell for me to get bigger lol.....I stuff my face now more than ever and do no cardio and yet I cant even add a freaking pound!....Not even when I ate a garbage diet do I put it on...My metabolism use to be real slow now it is on fire all the time...Sucks!
