I only want big arms. Not literally, I still am working out other muscle groups, but I want the biggest bulkiest arms. How do I get them?

My arms are currently 15.8”. I want to get them as big as possible. I don’t want to hear all the “do compounds” shit. I already do compounds. I want my main focus for my routine to be bigger arms. Big meaty triceps and biceps. Gimme your advice.

Edit: thanks to those who replied answering the question, I’m still reading peoples advice

@lizlugo51

• Guys with big biceps.. have big biceps
• Guys with big triceps have... big arms

@donnag but focus on both. focusing and growing just the triceps or just the biceps is not the look a person would want

@donnag I wish more people understood the simple fact that the triceps are a bigger muscle.

@slingmama Why are my triceps so much weaker than my biceps though?

I can do 40 lb bicep curls but only 30 lb if doing a JM press.

@tabularasa In my first years dumbbell pull-overs were a staple in my workouts, for back training. I love that movement.

I guess that helped alot in triceps development has an auxiliary muscle. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

Nowadays I can french-press / skull-crush 45kg (99,2 lb) for 8-10 resp, roughly the same I can do for a standing bicepcurl. So keep at it

For context I'm 42 yo, training for 20 years +.

Wow, you are a beast!

I've only been lifting for 1.5 years so hopefully I can get there at some point.
