Try heavy negatives. Get a friend to help you with this.
Grab some heavy dumbbells... about 10 pounds heavier than you could curl yourself. Have your friend help you lift them up, and then slowly lower them under your own power. That's an eccentric contraction. Even though you aren't strong enough to lift them up, lowering them slowly will stimulate growth so you will eventually be able to lift them, or at least lift something heavier than you can now. Plus eccentric contractions has been linked to hypertrophy.
This is an old trick powerlifters use for increasing their deadlift. It works for any muscle though.
