When I was having trouble with my bicep development I used drop sets and supersets. \n\nSuperset\nStanding Bicep Curls  3 x 6-10\nHammer Curls          3 x 10-15(with a very light weight)\n\nFollowed this by doing one drop set:\n\nDrop Set\n\nYou perform a drop set by take a standard barbell and loading it with small five pound weights. Find a weight you can perform 10-12 reps with. Then perform standing barbell curls to taking off a 5lbs weight from each side of the barbell every time you reach failure. Continue this pattern until you are lifting only the bar.\n\nTake a little creatine and whey protein and your arms will get huge. Mine are 18inches.

No. Pushups work your triceps, shoulders, and chest mostly. You may get a little work on your biceps and abs, but it is very, very, little. For abs, I like doing leg lifts, but crunches are good too. Pullups would be good for biceps and lats if you are only doing bodyweight exercises.

It could be a number of things like:\n\nspandex under armour\nturf tape\npadding to protect the bicep or triceps muscles\ntape

This is a simple routine that you can easily incorporate to your preexisting workout schedule. Simply add these exercises three to four days per week and watch your muscles become shapely and defined.\n\nBicep Curl (tones front of arms)\n\nThe classic move, bicep curls can be underestimated and overused if you’re not careful. It’s not just about lifting a weight up and down; when done correctly, this can be one of the most powerful moves in your arsenal. Begin by holding one weight in each hand with your palms facing inward. Rotate your arms out so that your palms now face to the front and slowly lift the weight almost one hundred and eighty degrees until your palm and the weight face your shoulder. Slowly lower the weight back to its original position and then repeat. By slowing down the speed of the movement, you force the muscle to work harder than it would with the momentum of a fast action. This develops the bicep muscle faster and better. Repeat this move for three sets of 25 repetitions for each arm.\n\nTricep Press (tones back of arms)\n\nThe tricep muscle can be one of the most difficult muscles to develop primarily because most people do not use it very often in daily life. Running along the back side of the arm opposite to the bicep, the tricep muscle can turn flabby and droopy without exercise. The best move to tone saggy arms is to begin standing with feet shoulder-width apart with weights in hand. Take a giant step forward with your right foot, lean forward slightly and then raise the weights behind you with your palms facing the ceiling. Raise the weights toward the ceiling as far as possible and then slowly lower. Repeat this move for three sets of 20 repetitions: on the final repetition of each set, hold your arms up and gently pulse the weight up no more than a few inches. Asking your tricep muscle to squeeze every ounce of strength out of it will start to show serious results in a short amount of time. \n\nOverhead Raise (tones shoulders)\n\nShoulders can be neglected when you focus on improving the arms, but having strong, healthy shoulders is vital to many everyday movements. Strengthening the shoulders will allow the arms to grow stronger as well and improve your overall upper body muscle. Begin by standing with weights in hands about shoulder height. Slowly lift the weights overhead and then lower. Repeat the movement for three sets of 25 repetitions. This move tones the muscles that run on top of your shoulder and increase performance from the bicep. When these muscles grow in strength, they complement each other and increase effectiveness as well as turning your muscles into lean, beautiful powerhouses.

I used to be in the same shoes than you.  If arms are small and you want to build them up do the following \n\n1-work out arms 2 times per week with free waits.  Use enough weights to only be able to do 10 reps. That will build bulk.  do only three excercises, tricepts curls, bicept curls, dips, etc. per excercise day.\n\n2-take amino acides and protein with your diet.

"Superior Labrum Anterior-Posterior"\n\nOne of the biceps tendons rips loose if the arm is forced across the body.

Get a resistance band.  Hold with elbows bent and band behind head.  Push out evenly with both hands.  This should be very low impact for your elbow.\n\nI lift weights, but I also have a resistance band at my work.  I sit all day so I use that to help increase my muscle activity.  The one I described to you is the one I use for my triceps.  You can get a resistance band at wal-mart for 6 bucks.

Try lifting dumbbells for bicep curls with only the non-racket hand or do more with that arm then with your dominant arm. Get one of those balls or bags filled with sand and squeeze them to build up the muscles in your hand and forearm.

You need to start working you tricep and shoulders as well.  Your bicep IS the big ball of a muscle in the middle of your arm.  You should really be working your whole body though or think about how weird you'll look with really jacked arms and a bony chest.

push ups with your hands far apart will target the pecs more than your triceps. Elevating your feet on a chair or other object will also make the push up harder which will give you more of a work out. You could also wear a backpack with stuff in it like cans of food or water bottles to increase the weight.

I have been in body building along time. I know my shit. If you want biceps bulging out of your arms, you need to do 3 sets of 10 reps. You should only be able to do ten reps, if you can do more, increase the weight. As the weight goes up, so will the size of your biceps. Your biceps will start looking really huge when you can curl 80 pounds in each hand. But do not rush the process. If you do not have proper form, your efforts are in vain.

i didn't lift weights when iw as 13....so i'm not sure how heavy 10 lbs feels for you.  if you can do 20+ reps of bicep curls for example, then you won't build any muscle because it's just not heavy enough.  the only way muscle grows is if you lift heavy, the muscle fibers tear and regrow stronger/bigger.  but then again, you're only 13 and packing on tons of muscle could be bad for your overall growth.  \n\nyou could just do tons of reps to build volume...or do some punching while holding the weights in your hands.

Pushup are good.  Also tricep dips.  Get some dumbells for bicep curls, tricep overhead raises, and such.  Do your upper body workout every other day for best results.

I've been up to a high level, without steroids, and I'd say out of dumb ego, most guys train with too heavy a weight and too few reps.  Look at Olympic rowers, they work a 30lb equivalent weight with their full body over and over and over, they are very supple, low-fat, with high muscle definition and aerobically excellent performance and recovery. I have trained guys up with low weights and higher reps, and they find that they lay a great foundation of muscle-tendon-bone strength.  When they have that, the too-heavy becomes simply un-liftable, rather than tendon-popping.
