CGBP for tri's alongside lots of other pressing.
For me high rep' curl variations are all that works for bi's. Low rep's do nothing for growth.

Mine grow nicely with minimal direct work. I didn't get much more than elbow aggravation from skulls and wrist aggravation from CGBP.

Pushdowns - when properly performed - and tri-delt cable rows grow my triceps, and 3 sets of pinwheel curls per week for biceps.

Heavy compounds do the rest of the work.

That's a tough question. Without going into too much detail I would have to say the best way to grow massive strong arms is by utilizing proper progression.

I dunno, cos I dont really have massive strong arms. But I think the best growth i have had with them was actually when I hit them with low reps and heay compunds... could have just ben a coincidence and they may have grown even more if I had of had an 'arm day', but guess ill never know

My arms respond well to heavy pull and push movements. Rows and presses.

But I did do 2 sets of direct bicep work this week! I haven't performed a direct set for triceps in many, many months. I am not losing muscle. Not sure I would recommend this for the younger guys. But it works for me.
