Well, for me, going very heavy with such low reps doesn't work for me, because it's too heavy, then all my form is wrong, with the wrong form I can't even really contract the muscle I want to train properly. Plus going heavy makes you more prone for injuries.

So I guess that explains your lack of soreness (coz lack to concentrated stimulation) and that injury you had. For that lack of muscle growth on your arm, it's because it has only been ?a few weeks. It took me a year to grow half an inch on my arms.

If your goal is strength then train like a powerlifter, stay at the 6-8 rep range. If your goal is to have pretty muscles, then train like a bodybuilder lower the weight and up your reps to 10-12, do split training (meaning splitting your training into chest, back arms, shoulders, legs, abs) and with proper form of course.

For me how much one person lifts is not important, it's how much he LOOK like he can lift matters.

People always say I have huge arms, but btw I can only do 25lbs (10kg) bicep curl on each arm for 8-10 reps
