>>371596 I guess there are a variety of ways to do things, so I'll throw a couple more routines at you? Try upping the weight until you can barely do a set of 5. Do that set, swap to a different exercise(you'll probably need some time off before you can do another set if you maxed out at 5 reps, exercising in a different way keeps you from sitting around for 15 minutes like a doof), up the weight on that until you can barely do 5, swap to something else, and circle around until you've done 5 sets of 5. Personally, as far as arm workouts go, I do delt raises, bicep curls, tricep extensions, rows, low rows, lat pulldowns, shoulder presses, and bench presses, but uh, obviously most of those work more than your arms, and most people would argue that so many different exercises are totally unnecessary. But yeah, 5x5 is a pretty common setup.
Or, for a bulking routine I learned from a dude who learned in prison, start with a light enough weight that barely pushes you, and do it until you just about can't anymore. Add 5-10 pounds per arm, rest until you can continue, and do as many reps as you can. Add 5-10 pounds per arm, rest, and repeat the add-weight-max-out-rest cycle until you can barely manage 1-2 reps. Then take 5-10 pounds off each side, do as many reps as you can, etc., and work your way down until you're back down to the weight you started on. I've only tried this a couple times, and it fucking busted my ass both times, which is basically the goal.
I make no promises as to the results or safety of either of these routines, I'm not a trainer and have no real education on the subject, I'm just a guy with a physical therapist for a sister, who sorta-kinda knows a guy who bulked up in prison, presumably to avoid becoming someone's wife. Use common sense, kids.
