Ever since I started lifting, biceps are the hardest part to grow for me tbh, my triceps have already even outgrew my biceps. I think the reason why it's hard for me to grow them is because since 3 years ago I started working them out everyday and that's not the right thing to build muscle, any tips to help me grow them?

first question is, hows your diet? are you getting enough macros to build muscle? are you getting good sleep? and i noticed you've been training them daily for the last 3 years, perhaps not enough time for the muscle recover? i would suggest training them twice a week. in my case i train them on back/biceps day and on an arms day.

you may be over doing it. what i suggest is train the once a week and finish your session with drop down sets.

drop down sets : start at a weight you can get 8 reps out on. Go max reps untill you cant rep anymore then drop the weight without rest and do the same again and continue with this for 4 - 5 weighs at the end you will feel and incredible pump and few weeks you will see a diffrence.

compound exercising, IE power lifting is just some bullshit cross-fitters do as they don't believe training arms ect is beneficial . If you train in a gym with them i would strongly suggest doing bicep curls in the squat rack.

Steroids are only bad if you I correctly use them for instance HGH is really good for you

HGH is generally used by advanced athletes (it's not for beginners) with a big wallet (it's bar none the most expensive PED)

good luck affording a cycle if you choose steroids lol
personal experience, treat them like any other muscle. go heavy and work them out 1-2 a week.
 
Don't worry I used to work them out every day too because I thought that was the way my arms would get big lol. But like every one is saying, TBar rows, Pullups, Chinups can all help grow your biceps. Work them out with back and then again alone to really focus on the muscle. Be sure to hit both heads of the muscle and stretch. All you need is probably some slow and quality contractions! :)
 
The advice in here is funny.
 
If all else fails, it might just come down to the fact that you have bad genetics when it comes to the muscle insertions/muscle belly size in your biceps.
