Increase volume.
Do you go in with a particular plan for progressive overload over time? Or, do you just go in and wing it?0 -
This is really an unfair complaint to the people who really have no arms. Perspective.0

I thought this was actually going to be about someone with no arms wanting to know what their TDEE might be or something...0 -

Your genetics could also be part of the problem.....
Some people have parts that develop really well....and other parts that just never seem to come along for the ride.0 -
Really hard to say without knowing your workout plan. Can you detail what exactly you are doing, or have done, and for how long you worked at both?0

For me personally, I get the best bi and tri hypertrophy in the 12-15 rep range. When I used to work forearms, they only responded to a ton of direct volume.0

Try super setting biceps with triceps. Slow the movements down. Squeeze on contraction until it starts burning in the 10-12 range. Only really need to isolate Biceps/Triceps once a week or so. The Compound movements (Bench/rows) should also be working your arms adequately.0

Agreed. There's no need to be getting all up in arms.0 -
One thing I'd suggest as well is ensuring that you're properly isolating your biceps and triceps by using an appropriate amount of weight. I've lost count of the number of people I've seen at the gym that slap far too much weight on the barbell, and start rocking their hips in more of a flinging motion to get the bar up, rather than a controlled curl. Similarly, I see people doing cable pushdowns, and they're doubled over with their lats and shoulders flexing with every push. Ensure you're engaging and recruiting the right muscles for the movement you're performing.0

What @slideaway1 suggested OP is what I do. I had skinny arms for ages and while I'm not saying they are massive now, thankfully they have grown a bit by super setting the above one day a week and hitting them indirectly on other days.0 -

Yeah, and to T-Rexes**.
**Grip - how about you get one?

Yeah, drop the weight about 10% below your maximum. Sacrifice weight over form. Slow down the movement, Concentrate on the muscle (mind muscle connection does work), squeeze at the top until blood is filling the muscle between 10-12 range. It will feel like it's burning. Superset opposing muscles. Fill those bit%hes with protein afterwards. I'm defiantly guilty of overloading my Tricep cable pushdowns and bringing other muscles in. This has made me conscious of correcting that next time I'm in the gym.0 -
