well i have 4 weeks until leavers, i want to put on some quality muscle before than. im at around 75/76kg and my arms are at around 34cm. My arms r the worst section of my body and i really want to hit 36-37cm by leavers in 4 weeks. I understand the tricpes are 2/3 of the arm and i have typically not put much effort into triceps, so in the next 4 weeks im gonna put greater emphasis on the tri's and bi's.

Since starting this cycle of bulking, how much weight have you put on?

And is this just strickly weight that your trying to put on?
 
trying to put mostly lean mass, tho i dont mind a little fat as well. Ive gained around 3.5kg in about 6 weeks.
 
ive squatted more than once, i missed journaling 1 leg workout, and i never did squats, ive only recently realised im missing out on alot by not doing them so now i do them every leg workout, along with deadlifts
