How many inches can a man gain on the arms in a month doing weight training?
'5' whoever wrote that really helpful you are, giving someone the wrong answer.
This question is not answerable there are too many variables. For example F.I.T.T (frequency, intensity, time, type) basically how hard you train, how many times you train in a week, how long you train each session, and what type of training you are doing - (3-way split, 4-way split, drop sets, interval, continues, ect.) There is a lot of controversy surrounding the way people train and how they build mass because everyone is different. Also some other variables are, diet, genetics (to a degree), actually i'll save your time by shortining this answer and mine by writing the short answer.
There is no correct answer to that question, try it and find out.

DHEA is not recommended for men. If testosterone levels are normal, DHEA will turn into estrogen instead. Definitely not the wanted result for a male body builder. DHEA might be a good idea for female body builders who want to slightly raise testosterone levels.

If i am 15 years old 5'9 150lbs squatting 365lbs and benching 195lbs will it stunt my growth?
Maxing out could damage growth plates so before you are fully grown it is safer to do a minimum of 4-8 reps. I'm 15 years old, 5'8 140lbs, and i squat 275, and bench 170. So i know how you feel.
Do you get smaller by lifting weights?
It depends on your weight and fitness level. For example, you may become smaller by losing fat around the muscles that you are losing to lift weights. But if you are already thin, depending on how much you lift, you muscle tone will either stay the same, or your muscles will get bigger.
No, it wont stunt your growth, although 60 everyday without rest in between will not do you any good at all as the muscle needs time to repair.

What muscles are eccentric and concentric when doing incline bench press?
The bench press has two phases: eccentric and concentric. The first phase, as you lower weight toward your chest, is called the eccentric, or muscle-lengthening motion. The second phase, as you raise the weight back up, is called the concentric, or muscle-shortening phase. It is during the concentric phase that you can feel your chest getting tight. Learning which muscles are used during the concentric phase of the bench press is beneficial for focusing your mind on the correct area and therefore improving your exercise technique.The primary concentric mover of the bench press is the pectoralis major, which you may better know as the chest. Depending on which version of the bench press you are doing, you will be recruiting a specific part of the muscle group. The regular bench press on a flat surface mainly works your middle pecs. The incline and decline versions mainly work your upper and lower pecs, respectively.
Strength exercises. Try plyometrics (explosive movements exercises), they will really get you in shape and make your enduce and strength go through the roof. Also weight training will definitely make you stronger.

What is your max on bench press when you can do 125 5sets of 3 reps?
I would suppose anywhere from 145-160 lbs. But doing one set of x number of repititions tends to be more revealing toward a bench max.
What muscle is the primary one targeted in a pull up?
The traditional pull up is a so-called `compound` exercise, which means it targets most of the muscle groups of the upper body (so basically it trains your entire upper body fairly equally). In my experience though, the muscles which grew tired the most after every pull up workout and in long-term grew the most were the obliques and shoulder muscles.
