You look good brotha! Don't take my frame comment to heart.. I just always nit pick symmetry.
When I look at myself in the mirror, or in a picture, I will adjust myself until everything lines up evenly on both sides. I just saw off set shoulders, off set traps, and relatively small arms compared to everything else. Shoulders and traps are 100% my biggest problem getting to line up. Practice posing alone and getting them to hit evenly everytime, get used to that placement and make it your neutral point when holding. Eventually it will be something you come back to perfectly everytime and won't even have to think about.
Your progress is excellent. Never meant to make it sound like anything less!

You should be taking extr time to work on your arms Matt. I know it seems like a uphill struggle with little payoff. But they will grow if you put the time in. Trust me , I've had the same problem with mine. The more I focus on my arms tho and stay diligent and consistent after it, I get results...and you will too. They are definantly lagging behind the progress of other muscles you got there. So put extra work in soley for them. Make them catch up. The results are entirely the sum of the work you put in. Excuses don't make an grow, only hard work. Try different stuff, whatever it takes. You show progress in other areas, now time for arm progress! Just a few words of encouragement for ya bro. Now make it happen.

As for.my arms I dunno I think.myself they look.small but when I measure cold.flexed there above 17" and the woman or my.Co.workers think there big lol or I should say the general public in general
I.am.hoping once I get down to a good bodyfat percent it will pop out.the biceps more with less bodyfat and make them.look bigger
I think with just my frame bigger chest and wide shoulders It makes my arms look smaller illusion wise as I am trying to put size on them lol hopefully they will.mature and fill out someday

Stress releases cortisol....
Cortisol WILL speed up bodyfat loss - BUT, it also impacts on protein synthesis, so be aware that you may become catabolic and end up losing muscle...
Address that stress and get back to normal ASAP

Yes catabolic. When we release cortisol, from things like stress, the cortisol can put you into a catabolic state as it will break down fat but also muscle as well. Thats why you should address the stressful situation in your life and deal with it so you can be stress free...Or at least less stressed.
