First pic is me beginning of 2015

Second pic is me November 2015

Started working out over a year ago. I went from scrony to lean and somewhat muscular id say 7-8% boyfriend. But I'm kinda disheartened becUse I've put in work 4-5 days a week and my damn arms won't get bigger. Anyone have any idea of what workout and eating routines I should try? By the way here's a progression pic over a year.. I'm pretty dedicated just can't get bigger arms.

When trying to gain mass, it's important to eat healthy, and "enough"
and then there's the one phantom exercise that many people forget.. Sleeping
it's important to let your body rest as well, or you'll just ruin your body instead.

I'll need more information, than just how long you worked out
if I am to help you any further. ^.^

Thanks man but yeah I'm an ectomorph I've made some good core gains.. As you can see. But I don't eat enough because I can't stomach a lot of food. I go to the gym 4 days a week mininum. I get gains and it helps my confidence. But I'm not going to lie the women just don't notice unless the shirts off.

I may be the wrong person to ask, as I'm focused on a healthy body rather than
one to attract women, I workout for myself, and I hope you do as well.

But it may indeed be because you're not eating enough
if you can look at the amount and tell yourself it isn't enough, it probably is (not enough)

You could try cutting a bit down on the days at the gym
you say four days as a minimum.. make that three, simple as that.

And then try to get both enough food, rest and water.

Sidenote: When at the gym, it is more beneficial to stay in your own weight-class
than trying to do more than you should, but you probably knew this. ^.^

Yeah I do it for many reasons. But I really understand it's my food intake. Thanks for the insight

this link covers gaining weight and proper diet and what supplements to use, it's a very long read but very useful I've been going to the gym for 2 years and have seen really good results in my arms and core (although i was a chubby fuck when i started).

They have grown a bit however it's important to eat a lot and consistently! You could be working your ass off however if you're not eating correctly you won't really see results

I agree I've gotten A Lot stronger and as you can see my chest and abs look better but it's just my arms. Need to eat like crazg

I think they have, and they look like they're in good proportion to your body

You gotta start measuring your arms to see if you really made the progress braw and don't overstress on biceps. Biceps is really covering very small area muscle that only need like 2-3 exersise, not a whole day just dedicated to it. I do biceps on my pull day, Barbell curls and zottman curls. Also hit your triceps good too because bigger got more to do with your tris than bis

Eat lots of meat and eggs man , you need proteins and you must not do the same workouts everyday, 1 day train your arms and foreheads ,2 day your chest, 3 your legs.

triceps make your arm look bigger more than biceps do, just have that in mind
