Ok...so I want to build arm muscle. Right now, I can only do like 10 push ups, and 0 chin ups. My arms are very weak. Im 14 years old. Currently, I have a set of 5 pounds weights. But thats more toning than building. I can barely lift a 15 pound weight, which is kinda sad. So what kind of weights should I work with and how should I do it? What kind of exercises? Please and thank you.

Do more push ups everyday, use the weights and do a few sets of 20 on each arm.

Do some dips. Work on your triceps.

I can suggest something, but you will only build muscle in one arm.

Erm...should I work with the 5's for a bit until I can handle the 20's? Yea, push ups seem like a good idea.

Do calisthenics, those dumbbells won't do much. Push-ups, dips will pretty much do it. After some time i'd recommend joining a gym, you can only gain so much with calisthenics.

Youtube it, it's hard to explain. They mostly work your triceps though. You want muscles? Drum.

I did push-ups everyday. I used to be very weak, now I'm much stronger (in comparison to my former self)
