I work out 5 days a week. I work out each body part one day a week. Bicep day is done on Tuesday and triceps are done on Thursday. I do 4 exercises for each body part and 3-4 sets each exercise. I keep a high protein diet. Though I do all of this it just seems like my arms aren't getting any bigger. They are definitely cut but not as big as I think they should be. I lift heavy on every exercise as well; usually about 6-10 reps. Any suggestions?

Do you change up your routine? Have you tried drop sets? supersets on bis and tris?

tri's is whats going to make your arms appear bigger. try signing up for a program here on FT. Something else you might wanna take a look at is your diet. I'm with charlie maybe you should try changing your routine. 4 exercises for biceps and triceps seems like a lot to me. Bi's and tri's are among the smaller muscle groups so it could be possible your over training. hope that helps a little.

you need to add about 10 solid good lbs over all to your body.....to get close to 1in on the guns.

what about your back, chest, and shoulders........are they strong /big........your arms won't grow .."just cause" you want them too.......guys with big chest, back and shoulders, legs......have big guns
