Hi guys, I have been working out for a year or so. I can see massive gains on my arm size but when I did curl, no peak is shown I am really sad about it and others was like, you've been in the gym for years and still didnt see any improvement on your arms  Any advise?

Post is HL milk + egg white. To be frank, I did not control very well in the diet part. Usually I will have my breakfast with noodles + black coffee. Lunch with rice/noodle and dinner with a lighter meal/egg white.

bicep peaks are determined by your genetics and also your bodyfat %. pretty straightforward when it comes to training. so long as u curl weights and do tricep extensions you're pretty much done. you cant "shape" how your muscles grow. they just get bigger

And one HL milk 250ml. Daily calorie intake I'm not so certain bro. But I tried not to take so much carb per day despite it gives us the energy  18% body fat( examined it last month) and 72 kg.

Triceps make up 2/3 of your arm, so the key to big arms is triceps. Big arms = 50~60kg curls + Close Grip Bench Press 100kg for 5+ reps = 2.5~3 years of perfect training with perfect diet. Keeping it real.

I can see massive gains on my arm size but when I did curl, no peak is shown I am really sad about it and others was like, you've been in the gym for years and still didnt see any improvement on your arms  Any advise? first, u need to lift the weight beyond ur limit. Let say, if u could curl more than 18...so its underweight...if less than 8...overweight... if u want to develop muscle, u need to pick the one that is overweight. less rep with heavier weight is to develop ur muscle..(if u could lift only 5 rep also okay, but make sure more sets.).if u want lean muscle, u need to do higher rep even with lighter weight.. and make sure u take protein and creatine. Protein is to recover all the breakdown/tear of ur muscle and creatine is for more stamina..more rep...
