1) it depends on your routine.
2)YESSSS most definitely
3)yes but it will be muscle and fat
4)see answer 3
All I can say about your arm routine is that it is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much. The way you build big arms it not direct arm exercises. That is what the magazines want you to think. The best thing for big arms is compound movements like bench and rows.
Also, you have to be patient. Having goals is good but you've just started and from the looks of it you might have gained a little too much fat and not enough muscle from what your doing now. If your looking to get big might I first suggest Max -OT for 1-2 months, take a break then try HST, after that I would go with DFHT or 5x5. If you look on this board in the workout section where the stickies are there is a list of routines you can do.
The only reason I say Max-OT first is because I think it is very basic and new lifter seem to understand it more. But after your here for a while you will start to under stand how the body works and be able to prepare a better routine. Also, if you're just starting out your body will respond to anything.
