Muscle Building Upper Body Workout
What would be a good workout schedule for me for upper body (details)?

I have been working out for a few months now, everyday, for about 40 minutes. I have only been doing upper body, because my cycling takes care of my lower body. I was wondering what would be a good workout schedule for me.

My 40 minute workout consists of:
About 10 minutes of crunches
5 minutes for obliques
50 pushups
15 of arm curls with 15 lbs
5-10 minutes of simulated bench presses-I use hand weights-about 30 pounds.

Would I build muscle faster if I keep going how I am now, or split these workouts up somehow, or what?

I eat a very healthy diet. I am 16 years old, 5'8 and 125 pounds. I can't afford a gym membership, so I am stuck with some old 10, 15, and 20 pound hand weights.

What would be best for building my upper body muscles quickly?

Start doing incline presses 1st during your workout. This will work your upper chest before its tired. Go high weight low reps to speed up Muscle Growth. Then work the middle of your chest. In 2 months you will see a huge improvement

1) incline presses 5sets 8, 6, 4, 2, 1
2) Flyes incline 5sets 8, 6, 4, 2, 1
3) flat flyes 5sets 8, 6, 4, 2, 1
4) flat bench 5sets 12, 10, 8, 6, 4
5) push ups till exhaustion 5 sets
