For Triceps, I do the over the shoulder exercise, sometimes with both hands, sometimes invividually(left arm really struggles with this!)
ALSO, I want to know when the best time move up in weights is. I only got the Bouflex 20 lb ones, and I do plan on getting heavier ones later(my dad wanted to see just how much I'd use them). My friend told me that doing a lot of exercises with small weights is better than doing less with heavier weights. For instance, I can easily curl 20 pounds with my right arm, and 25(with some difficulty, but I can still curl it), but not as many times as 15. With 15, I can keep going on, because it's manageable to lift, and the more times I lift, the more stress I put on the muscle.
ALSO, I just work Triceps and Biceps, they're the 2 main ones, right? What other ones should I look to? I know someone told me not to disregard any muscles, but any other major ones I simply can not afford to miss?

Your friend is wrong about lifting lower weight. I started at 40lb(dumbell) and did that for a month and I never noticed much of a difference. I started doing high weights, low reps. It's probably been about 6 months and I'm up to 150lb.
Aside from skull crushers and curls, you should probably do the Upright Row and Bench Press's (or Pec Fly's if you dont have a bench). Not for your arms specifically but you don't want to have really strong arms and have a weak chest.
EDIT: getting tired of GS crapping all over my posts...
