Work them less.
Heavy barbell curls are good but pullups, especially weighted, are amazing for bicep growth. The thing to remember is that your triceps are much bigger than your biceps so working them will increase your arm size more than your biceps. You have to be eating enough food for growth too.
Its mostly genetic. I was blessed with great arms. If you weren't blessed you just h a's ve to work them harder
You need to eat more, weight has a lot to do with it...
You also need to figure out what works for you. I know a lot of guys in the bodybuilding world who grow their arms with high rep curls. Equally this didn't work for me.
Mine didn't start really growing until I started doing heavier lifts with lower reps. I don't get a pump, but they grow.

^^^ your experiences are the truth. i actually have interviewed many pros and they admit they only do curls for show and to mire themselves in the mirror. it makes for good videos and all that
the truth is they build their arms from things like rows, pullups, etc.

Not even pros train them 3x a week.
