Hey all,

Been going to the gym fairly consistently the past few years (have stuck to different routines consistently since COVID started). Diet has always been crap but that too has been better (not ideal) for the past year. I've always been healthy, not overweight, and looks wise the only thing I'd change is a bit of fat around the belly (the diet change is helping with that though). Through it all I've been keeping track of weight, weight lifted, work outs, protein consumption, calories in/out, and muscle measurements. I have a good handle on what I need to do, generally, but there's one thing I can never figure out.

The advice I'd like from y'all is how the hell do I build bigger arms and calves? Everything else has been affected by a combination of all the things I mentioned before. I'm seeing the growth I want based on the changes I've made. But for some reason no matter how much I lift or what I eat my arms and calves just don't seem to grow. Granted, I am "cutting" right now so that might be it but even during bulking I can't seem to gain anything there. Any tips? I've tried spreading out arm workouts throughout the week, I've done week splits where I train them twice per week, and am currently doing one dedicated workout session to just arms (general routine is five days per week, twice a day).

Appreciate the help!
