Are compound excercises enough to maintain arms

I've come to the point where I'm happy with my physique and just want to maintain would the main compound lifts, bench press, overheadpress, pullups, rows be enough to maintain arms?

Hi! Compounds generally are enough to maintain your biceps, they're pretty much where 90% of your muscle building is generated from. If you want more bicep activation though I'd maybe add in chin ups as well as pull ups as these encourage more bicep activation than pullups.

You work your triceps doing compounds like bench press.
