Adding inches to arms

[Jeremy82587]

Hey guys. I was wondering how long it takes to add an inch to your arms. I know it takes proper training and nutrition, and genetics have role to play also. But I am solid in my training and diet, and I'm 17. So how long should I expect it to take to add about an inch, or a half inch?? Thanks PS:
What exercise are best in your opinion for adding mass to the arm?

I imagine you're not on gear, tell us how much you weight and your height. My guess, if you train right, half an inch to your arm per year.

you will put on about 1" to your arms for every 10-12 lbs of LBM you put on.

Another thing, if you want big arms...remember the tricep is bigger than the bicep. Too many people concentrate solely on curls for big arms...start doing heavy tricep work...and watch your arms go huuuuge...

I am about 144lbs and I am 5'6" (I'm short as hell!) So i'm not skinny even though I am 144, I am pretty stocky, and have fairly low body fat, because i can still see my abs. Right now my arms are about 14" flexed and 12.5 relaxed. I actually gained about an inch in a matter of 6 months, but thats because I just started seriously lifting and following a diet for those 6 months. Thanks guys. So you think I could aim for about an inch in about 8-10 months with solid diet and training?

heres what i do for my tris and right now this is working the best for me
cg bench 5x5
skulls 2x8-10
rope or vbar pushdowns 2x8-10
i have bad tondonitis in the elbow that prevents me from training my bi' hard right now..i do a few sewts of preachers 3x10 with a light weight then hit some cable curls for 2 sets of 20-30..

you need to do cg bench and as someone just suggested to me maybe reverse grip bench..one of those should be your main exercise

for bi's you should do barbell curls and another exercise or 2 and thats all

Squats don't make your arms grow. Train for specificity. The hormonal release is nominal, contrary to popular belief.
