I have been getting great gains this month->

I just did my measurments and my arms have gained 1.5 " in just over a month and a half. Not bad. They are 17" cold now. I want to keep up the gains and get em to 19" within the next 6 months. I have gained a couple inches in chest and a half on my calves(they are lagging!)- my delts need to blow up some more, they are also lagging a bit. I have been doing the 5x5 routine and it has definately worked!

Also, changes in bodyfat % would be appreciated.

Well, I have been cutting, well I thought I was cutting but I havent lost to much bodyfat. I was around 14% before and now I am 12%. My waist was 36 and now it is 34 so I still have a way to go to get ripped. Anyway, I am lowering my cals some more to see if that helps cut some more. For biceps I am doing 9 work sets. I do 3x6 barbell curls, 3x6-8 DB curls and 3x6-8 preacher curls- the preachers seem to help the most. My arms blow up with preachers. For triceps I have been doing the same- 9 sets- 3x6 head crushers,3x6-8 triceps pushdowns and 3x6-8 close grip bench.
My diet has been very clean(chicken breast,tuna,muscle milk,red potatoes,brown rice-etc)- I follow a 40/30/30 ratio but I do need to lower cals a bit to lose more fat. I have been running around 2400 cals/day and I am going to try 2100. I do a refeeds on the weekends. Sat I eat normal but add a couple bowls of Lucky Charms and Sunday I add some low fat sugary treats and usually a cheat meal. Hopefully I will keep up the gains and lose more fat!
