As noted in a few posts above, the best way to increase arm strength overall is to increase everything. The muscles in the arms alone compose such a small part of your body's overall musculature that doing all the curls and skullcrushers in the world will eventually reach a wall (and by eventually, think 'almost immediately'). Barbell training seems to be the most popular way to train lower body, although I think any inclusion of squats, deadlifts, lunges, cleans, etc., would be more effective than just the upper-body stuff you have now.
