Hey there,
I'm an exercise physiologist and I may be able to help you.
Start by lifting enough weight that makes you tired after about 8-10 repetitions. Do that twice each day for about 3 or 4 days per week. Then as you are able to go past 8-10 reps, step up your weight by 2.5 to 5 pounds at a time. Your arms will be much bigger before you know it if you follow that system.
You'll be knockin your sister's socks off really soon, kiddo!
