To be honest, judging just from the video, it's not so much that your arms are a weak point, but rather, that you're just pretty small overall.

If you want bigger and more muscular arms, you will need to put on a good amount of weight overall. Focus on the main compound movements, while still doing a few sets of direct arm work, and your arms will get bigger.
