I REALLY suggest you DON'T work just one body part! If you want to gain strength, then you need to do the bench press, pull ups (or pull downs), barbell rows (or dumbell rows), dead lifts and squats. This is the most simple routine, but you have to have all of these to build a strong body. If you just work one body part and neglect the rest of your body, you're doing yourself a diservice. Your body is one unit, not a collection of removable parts, so you need to work it like a unit for optimal health and strength. If you work your entire body, you will have better strength gains.
I suggest you split your body up into a routine so that you are only hitting one body part a week. Here's an example:
Day 1 - Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders
Day 2 - Legs, Abs
Day 3 - Rest
Day 4 - Back, Chest
Day 5 - Traps, Lumbar, Abs
Day 6 & 7 - Rest
You don't have to do it like this, but this is similar to the routine I'm using now. I've added almost an inch to my arms in 2 months, but I'm also bringing out more shape in the rest of my body too. If you only work your arms, you'll only look good in a sleeveless shirt. However, since if you work your whole body, you will look good no matter what you're wearing, or not wearing.
Feel free to PM me if you want a more complete routine to work with. 
PS, I'm not just some jack-off with a few ideas, I'm a professional fitness writer, so I've got a clue.

Think it might be kind of hard to do all that with 50 pounds worth of weights in my bathroom. |
