The only way I am going to get bigger in my arms, or anywhere really, is if I get off my damn road bike, shit waste me away rapidly even when eating like a beast everyday.
But I am early 30's now, and someone on here mentioned leg workouts releasing testosterone, anyone know anything about this? I will say my experience with this, when I cycle hard I will grow a lot of facial hair that night, like my body was releasing lots of test.
So far though I have a great amount of energy still, so that's a plus. No "low T" for me yet.

Dead lifts. Look it up. Dead lifts will yolk your entire body and put on mass quicker than any other free-weight exercise. This is all connected to testosterone levels.

Also; squats are a better movement than deadlifts. Obviously it's better to do both. But if I had to chose one it would be squat by miles

Squats are more difficult to build with at home. You need an entire apparatus for proper squats. And theyre more dangerous

If your T is low DAA, Zinc Citrate, and high-dose D3 will bring you up to baseline for like $10.

Squat's don't build grip strength a whole lot. I prefer dead lifts and power cleans to squats but thats me. power cleans, anyone that thinks they have low test should look into cleans and deads

DAA is pretty good too. I can't say for sure it boosted test in be but there was definitely more intensity especially on my explosive lifts like kettle bells(easy for those of you in small spaces on a budget!!!)/power cleans.

Oh this is good stuff, there's no need for this to be EXPENSIVE though, so look for similar knockoffs.
Let me give a tip of my own:
THIS SUPPLEMENT
It combines Vitamins, minerals,exotic nutritional and herbal ingredients, all in a VERY well balanced mix, all in the best forms and in some cases several forms of the same vitamin for proper absorption.
You can but the 180 TABS jar for $30 if you shop right. You need 1-2 of them a day, I highly recommend one at breakfast and one at dinner as the default, or as a budget version just one at breakfast.
2 tabs = $10 a month, budget = $5 a month.
The best tenner you spent on nutrition & food ALL MONTH.
Most people who start taking 2 of these start feeling better and better for weeks and then staying in their improved health and wellbeing. Its GOOD.

I mean I don't want to get into a whole argument here. Its really preference. But imagine one had to do the basic 5x5 program. Would you rather cut out deadlifts from that program? Or the squats? the squats gave me so much damn core strength. Deadlifts did too
Keep in mind I came from pushups, pullups etc. into 5x5. At least for me, and just speaking for me, squatting thrice a week was hard at first but helped me gain sooooo much strength when I got into wieghts. You recover quicker from squats too. I forget why. I think the user prepH could fill us in here, but there is some reasoning/biomechanics behind it
Imagine deadlifting thrice a week? Seems silly. I have done soooo many different arrangements of different programs and switched it up myself. Written programs for myself, catered to my goals etc. All I gotta say is squatting 2-3 times a week has always been a staple and must have for me. At least twice a week. Usually heavy. Its honestly the king of hypertrophy movements
And more specifically, back ssquats>front squats> pistols squats
If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to choose between squats and deadlifts forever, I would choose squats. Hands down. By miles. and I think any sane adult in the gym would do the same
That being said, squats take more equipment. and ya I guess they are more dangerous. I think with that in mind, I may move into the 8 rep range, not the 5 rep range for lower body. Just to be "safe".
I don't wanna come off as close minded, I just don't see where you guys are coming from.

According to many studies and papers it is a complete placebo in regards to building muscle and increasing testosterone. 
It has been shown to enhance libido and that's about it
https://examine.com/supplements/tribulus-terrestris/
But you are getting results for what you want and that's all that matters. Looking good man
Look into D-aspartic acid (daa), clear muscle(name brand of a chemical I can't remember) and creatine. the first two have been shown to increase testosterone slightly
While creatine doesn't, it is a proven supplement that can help you push a little harder, breakdown more muscle and therefor grow more

I don't wanna come off as close minded, I just don't see where you guys are coming from.
Your CNS just recovers faster froms squats, deadlift is literally a full body workout. While it comes down to preference it also comes down to function too. I can relate it to when I played football. Squats helped just plane old leg strength don't get me wrong. But when we started getting heavy into deadlifts and power cleans. I went from being able to bulldoze kids (just try and run over them) to grabbing them by the pads and ripping their whole center of gravity to the side to shoot the gap and make the sack. Grip strength is important as shit. And often the most overlooked. And while some may say "im never going to play football" grip strength is nice is physical altercations which some of us get in from time to time. When someone can't pry a single hand off their trachea there is usually that "deer in the headlights" look. What I'm saying is it is a more functional lift and often times people will not deadlift or powerclean do to difficulty/not want to try because of the difficulty. Loading a squat rack is easy. Lifting 300+ lbs for consistent reps while trying to keep your grip around it as much as possible. If you do deadlifts right and go heavy, your shins will bleed and sometimes your hands too. Power clean is even more difficult, deadlift but you have to thrust the bar into the air using your core strenth dip down and catch it at your collar bone and lift back up.
I also second the actual test prescription bit too, fuck GNC i worked for them in the past, besides DAA supps their test products are shit. Real testosterone is relatively harmless in the correct dosages(which will still garnish huge gains for you) and the problems only come when guys start thinking "more is better" and go crazy with the injections. Probably one of the largest drug groups with propaganda floating around it. "man fuck steroids they'll fuck my heart" yet going out and drinking while bumping coke is cool.

You're probably in the clear.
It's been linked to heart palpitations. Google it. I take it in a similar way as you, but I think people who take it daily should watch it.
