My arms are stubborn. All you can do is try to switch everything around and concentrate on doing very heavy compound movements as well as some good isolating ones.
A great way to work stubborn biceps is with yates rows, basically underhand grip rows but bent over only slightly. This puts a heck of a lot of mass through the biceps. Then doing some barbell curls and incline dumbell will finish them. You might want to try out 12 reps for biceps, I've found its useful.
Triceps, well dips, close grip and skulls is the way to go. Probably 8 reps.

swole has a post about this somewhere. If you want the smaller body parts to grow, you gotta focus on the bigger ones (legs, back) and they will follow.
rest. you might be over training in your attempt to get big arms.

Probably an intensity and/or habituation problem. Mix things up with movements you've never done or ones you've tried and don't like (these tend to focus on weaknesses) and HAMMER them.

Quite right. You can get big arms through indirectly working them on hard back workouts, in the way I described. Sometimes doing a huge bicep workout on a separate day just after back leads to big overtraining.Originally Posted by derek7m
Squats, deadlifts, rows, dips, bench, pullups - these are the things that make you grow. They target everything, EVERYTHING. You get GH you get test and you handle huge mass which also makes the forearms grow
