How long until I get bigger....
Right now my arms are 16.5 cold..........right now i preacher curl 115 for 7 reps and close grip bench 235 for 8 reps. its seems as if i am getting stronger but when i measure my arms they are still the same 16.5 . how much weight am i going to have to push, relative to the numbers i am doing now, when my arms will be larger and not just stronger. any help would be greatly appreciated

Is the rest of your body growing? Have you changed your rep/set scheme recently? And, have you tried supersets? My arms were "stuck" before I started a superset workout and I've put 1/4" on them in a few weeks. These are two superset schemes by Joel Marion that I've used with great success.

Do 3 sets with 2 minutes rest between supersets.

Do 6 reps, drop the weight 20-30%.
Immediately perform 12 reps, drop the weight 2-30%.
Immediately perform 25 reps.
Do 2 sets with 2 minutes rest betwen supersets.
Worth a try to jumpstart some new growth.
Good luck.

Takes Time Bro
IT TAKES TIME I DIDN'T START SEEING CHANGES PHYSICALLY FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AFTER I STARTED LIFTING. I MEAN I SAW A LITTLE BIT BEFORE BUT AFTER ABOUT 5 MONTHS I STARTED NOTICING BIG TIME AND SO DID THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. ALSO YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTANT. IF YOU'VE BEEN LIFTING FOR A WHILE AND YOU'VE GOTTEN BIGGER AND CAN'T GROW ANYMORE, THIS MEANS YOU NEED TO START BULKING. I'M DOING THIS RIGHT NOW.
OH YEAH AND QUIT MEASURING YOUR ARMS EVERYDAY YOU'LL JUST BE DISSAPOINTED

Its ALL diet. ALL DIET. Can I say it a couple more times?
ITS ALL DIET.
I just recently learned this. I cut for a couple of months, and I ate WAY clean, I just ate too much, and I lost a marginal amount of fat. I started cutting again, and I dropped the cals, Ive lost, in a week, what it took me a month to lose last time.
Granted I changed up my routine, and whatnot, I attribute it all to diet though.This is my journal. Click it and such
