Muscle Building Questions - Adding Muscle Size To My Arms

Question:
I have been going to the gym for a year. I have made significant progress and am very proud of that. However, my arms are not progressing like I want them to. Currently I am doing 3 exercises per workout for biceps and triceps and using weights of 25, 30 and 35 for dumbbells and 40,45,50 for barbells When doing preacher curls. I change my exercise every time I go and can see some change But not like I want. Am I being too impatient or do I need to change something in my workout? I don't feel I have the arm strength I should have after a year of going to the gym.

Answer:
Focus more on your rep range and the level of intensity. Make sure to always go to positive failure on all of your sets after your warmup. You should barely be able to lift the last rep on each set. This will truly force your muscles to grow. Have a training partner spot you for the last few reps to make sure you're really pushing yourself. Your rep range should be 6-8 for mass building.
