I have been training my ass off for 5 years. My arms have made almost zero progress. NO ONE in my family has a tricep, or anything that sort of resembles a tricep. It's ALL genetics in my case. When I was 260lbs +, my arms were still under 17". They look so stupid for my frame, and I wear long sleeves shirts all the time because I am embarrassed of them. I'm pretty happy with every other muscle group. The bigger my shoulders get makes my arms look even worse. I'm lucky with delts, I may shoulder press 3x a year. It was a hectic year involving a lot of stress, and I lost a good 10+ lbs of muscle, but I'm coming back again slowly...just wish the arms would grow.

...I basically just started this thread to piss and moan, and also let some other members know that in SOME case- you CANNOT beat genetics..

Has anyone had a similar issued that got solved? As in you had a lagging body part forever, then it just started growing after years of training? I've done everything when it comes to making them grow. Haz told me had a similar issue with arms, and out of nowhere they exploded. Fvcker has almost 18.5"s now.

Here's another shot:

I have some half ass biceps that come up much slower than the rest (snails pace), but they do grow. My triceps look rediculous compared to the rest because they grow like milk weed.

Chest grows slow, shoulders grow fast. Legs are great. I would say all in all I have average genetics

I hear ya mate. My arms are the worst part. They hardly grow compared to the rest of my upper body, ive been training them twice a week which seems to help a bit. I just keep smashing them hard and hope for the best.
Is it possible that you're not training them enough or too much? (overtraining)

I was watching a dvd the other week where a bodybuilder said he tried training his arms twice a week, three times a week but they grew best training them once every second week!

What kind of routines have you tried?

i know what you are saying about genetics, mine suck! i am pretty sure these guys can help you with arm size. how is your form when performing exercises? you may want to incorporate some negatives or slow down and squeeze hard on your tricep when doing kickbacks. i squeeze until i feel it burn

I know that feel bro!!! There's some things about Genes that are just unmotivating to think about!!!


All I can say is, you can ALWAYs progress towards a better outcome a higher state.
Remember your genes and let it enrage you, do not accept to be lowered in comparison to others! You are worthy as too!!
You will do whatever it takes bro... use this anger to prove TO YOURSELF that your a bigger man for it.

<-- the high bodyfat around the waist gene lol (it pisses me off so muich that it fuels my cardio sessions!( I refuse to stop until I break my record)
