I was flicking through old pics (Nov 2024) and I realised my arms look way too small compared to my core and shoulders.
I train biceps and triceps in a PPL split. Should I switch things up? If so tell me what I should do. It’s a little embarrassing since I’ve been going to the gym for 2 and half years now

Depending of your goals, maybe focusing on arms is a good idea, starting your routine with arms compounds & isolations
Adding frequency, supersets, and pushing up to failure
Biceps/Brachial/Brachioradialis
- Weighted chin-ups (very close grip, supinated, when your neck touch the bar to target biceps, compared to the bar touching your sternum to target the back yk)
- Incline curls (even better with a pulley)
- Preacher curls or ring bw curls
- Hammer curls
- Behind the head cable curls
- Reverse curls (with a ankle cuff)
- Wrist rollers (curls & extensions)
Triceps
- Weighted diamonds push-ups (with yk the set-up of dumbbells inclined to a weight plate for wrist comfort)
- Weighted dips/ bench dips (don't go too deep, and never lock fully to avoid elbow complications
- Power triceps extensions (when you open up the elbows to allow a strech to the long head)
- If you can find a MAG close pronate grip bar, do your triceps extensions on it
- Behind the head rope french press/extensions
Important : Always use a pair of fat grips during your arms day, especially during triceps training, the increased contraction of the forearms muscles protect your elbows long term.
