Increasing arm size

[the People's Champ]

my arms in general have started to grow, due to not the exercises or the amount of weight I put on, but supersetting and drop setting. I will do drop sets for alternating bicep curls, and for any tricep extension, I will superset with some db curls. I haven't tried supersetting them with pushups, or dips, although that seems like it would kill them.

when performing dips, it seems like I can go forever, time to purchase a wieght belt and some chain?

My best arm gains come from a 5 x 5 program. I'm simple... 5 sets of EZ bar curls. 5 sets of skull crushers. The rest is icing.

And you are right... you can't do dips without a dip belt.

I may get flamed for this, but try not training arms for a while. Hit the big heavy stuff extra hard and don't isolate shit. I think you may be surprised

I actually agree with Thaibox. Many times, just not isolating arms for a while will help them grow.

Also, if you can do dips easily, you do need a belt and chain.

That actually may not be a bad idea, especially if you have been overtraining arms.

even if you can't get a chain belt, a regular lifting belt also works. the gym at school doesn't have a chain belt (stupid ass fuckers) but jesus 2 just gets a large belt and puts it on the loosest slot and put the top of the dumbbell through there.

it just feels as if though my arms dont grow if I dont work them. since I have been working them, they have grown, but not as fast as the rest of my body. I am 5'10.5, 190lbs, and almost have 16 guns. wtf?

also, I think my arms are the weak link on these exercises:

bench press
military press
bb rows
pull ups

jesus 2 is like that. 5'7" 175lbs and only 15 inch guns!!!! i can only go red riding bb shooting with that crap.

my arms don't seem to be weak links in exercises though, as they are getting stronger. i am able to curl 50lb dbs and crush my skull with 120lbs.

genetics suck and it only makes it worse that you can't change them. (stupid gay biceps!!! )

people's champ, jesus 2 is here for you.

So true! My arms started to grow when I started to train them less!

I have troubles with my Bi's growing as well... I swear my tris grow like weeds but my bis.... nope.. they are stuck in smalls-ville.
My arms are just under 16" too at 5'10 190something. Drives me insane... I'm hoping to crack the 16" mark by next summer... Lots of deads, squats and heavy bis for me over the next 8 months..
