My main question being what is the best way to strengthen your arms? (To be able to do more push ups for an example).
Your asking two different things here. Strength has to do with a max load. Doing more push ups has to do with muscular endurance.

What is your goal?

Ahh.. Well, both then. I just assumed that the more push ups I could do would have to do with how much weight I could lift. If I had to choose though I'd focus on max load for now.

Then full compound lifts are important here, squats, deadlifts, bench press ect ect...

Uhh.. Care to explain any of these? (I know what Bench press is of course.. I hope). And would it be just lift a certain weight till you can't lift it anymore?
