i work very hard at getting bigger...i eat a gross amount of good food workout hard and recently i have stopped my cardio for awhile in an attempt to put on a lot of weight. Everything seems to be getting bigger except my arms...they are alittle over 13" which is also about the same size as my forearms...i need some help.

6'4"
215
20 years old
15%bF

Read the stickies in the Training and Nutrition forums.

lol that is pretty much my new generic answer for everyone now...i am going to copy and paste that!

thats kinda a lame answer...is there anyone else?

lame or not its what you should be doing. And if you really want bigger arms, stop lifting them.

why is everyone so vague....tell me what that means...dont lift them?...what do i do?....can someone direct me to a specific sticky or give me some answer with something to it?

If everything else is getting bigger the arms should follow. I'm new to this site as well.. But listen to these guys they'll point you in the right direction you just have to do a little research on here as well. There is plenty of info here. IMO bigger arms is not always better. just me though... Build it all fella...

What are you currently doing?

When members say "don't lift them", they mean that you don't necessarily need to use any direct arm work if you focus instead on heavy presses and pulls. In other words, instead of having an "arms day" to bomb and blast them, you could do indirect exercises with a lot more weight such as underhanded chins, heavy barbell rows, bench press, ect. Basically, IMO, doing a 220 lb barbell row trumps a 35 lb hammer curl.. Follow the logic? Additionally, when you DO drop your arm isolations for compounds for your back/chest, you'll be getting the extra benefit of........ Yup, more chest/back hypertrophy.

We are not being vague. We are telling you the answers are in the stickies. Educate yourself and read them. They all have great information in them. We don't spoon feed here. Also read some of the articles, there is one on biceps. That is all the spoon feeding you're going to get.
