skinny arms,

because i am skinny the worst part of me is my arms, from side on they dont look to bad now but from front and back near the elbow joint it looks so bad, also when holding my arms out 90 degree to my body and tensing they look really really thin, is there any way to make my arms fatter in this direction and notjust getting bigger outways?

As I reacall you are pretty lean.
 
If you increase the calories so you are just gaining weight and work the triceps from a few angles...that should give you a thicker arm!
 
This is woven in to your full workout.
 
Cheers Cat!
 
How is everything going!?

still looks crap though :( embarrased to go swimming nothing has changed yet

Oh yea...have a current picture?
 
You know we are our own worst critiques!
 
So unless that was 15 pounds of fat, and even then nobody but you really cares, you probably look thicker and more full than before!
 
You are getting taller too right?

no i have stayed at 5 ft 9 for ages, should i stop doing 5 sets total on triceps? currently i am doing 3 sets of pull downs then about 2 dips, should i go to 3 sets total?

I think 5'9 is a great height myself
 
Did I ask...what does your full workout look like?

Don't go down, cat's do you need a workout plan? You should be doing 9-10 total sets on each major muscle section (arms are considered two, and forearms don't count)

back bicep day

pullups or down, 3 sets of 10
seated pulley thing (various machines sometimes cause there busy) 3 sets of 10
deadlift 3 sets of 5

Curls with machine 3 sets of 10
seated curls with free weights (one arm up then down and swap arm )  2 -3 sets of 10

abs 3 sets of weighted crunches and then leg raises 2-3 sets

tricep + chest

bench press 3 sets
incline /decline changing each time 2 sets of 10

tricep pull downs 3 sets of 10
2 sets of dips or overhead press 2 sets

abs 3 sets of weighted crunches and then leg raises 2-3 sets
legs + shoulders

4 sets seated leg extentions
2-3 sets of seated leg press
hamstring extentions laying on front 3 sets
hamstring press down (opposite to thigh fron extentions) 3 sets

shoulder press 3 sets of 10
upright rows 3 sets
seated leaning over dumbell rows? (to work back of shoulder) 3 sets
 
lastly 3 sets of barbell shrugs

Well, looks good.
 
Probably just need to throw in some variation! to keep growth going.
 
If you are not gaining any weight, you are not eating enough.

You should be doing 9-10 total sets on each major muscle section

 
That is NOT a good recommendation.  Most people are not advanced to the point that that would benefit them.  Also most people don't have adaquate rehab to recover from that type of volume.
 
Really, volume should be based on many factors - not a one size fits all.
 
Cats diet would not support that volume.  He would overtrain and start to lose weight and muscle and gain fat.

He's going for mass, not strength, correct? You pack on 9-10 sets of 3-8 reps and you will have arms like cannons in 6 months.

i thought less was more ive been told before, does that mean 9-10 excerises for both bicep and tricep? same for chest and everything else then? i thought danmirage said 3-4 sets per

Well, he also said some people aren't ready. I personally do bicep, chest, back shoulder, triceps and legs all on different days. I see you have days mixed in, making me assume that you only work out 2-4 days a week, as I cant see the message ATM and I can't remember exactly what it was. But for me, I do 9 sets total on chest, about 13-16 sets for legs, 10 for biceps (exclduing forearms i do on same day), etc.  I also have been working out for 1.5 years though, when I started I did about 7-10 sets also though. I guess it just depends on your pref, I load the weight on at first, get about 4-6 reps in, and then go down 5 or 10 till i can do 8-6 with 20 pounds off original weight. In the last month or two I have seen the best results in my weight uppening ever. I have gone up to 35's on each side of the EZ curl bar from 27.5, in about 2 months time. I got a plan that works for me, find one that works for you and you'll be good.

oh to clear some things
 
i have been traning hard for about 5 months, i am 17, i weigh about 130 pounds now and i am aiming for as much muscle gain as i can get :)
