Don't worry about doing arm exercises; heavy benching, overhead perssing, rowing, and pullups should do just fine

Full body compound lifts. Try Stronglifts 5x5, or something similar.

You know that "every day is arm day" meme? There's actually a lot of truth to it. When I was natural, I got the best results from working arms 4-5 days a week but controlling for volume (not burning myself out). 20 minutes a day would for sure be enough to develop arms. As for exercises, hammer curls and lying dumbell tricep extensions worked well for me, maybe add in heavy barbell curls as well.

Start with compound lifts and a light weight and focus on progressively increasing weight over time. Squats, bench, overhead press, deadlifts, pullups, rows are the kinds of exercises you should focus on for now. Depending on how you set up your split, you can choose if you want to alternate workouts and rest days, or workout multiple days in a row. For example if you were to do a push and pull day, you would be hitting muscles on your pull day that are not used on push day, allowing you to work out certain muscles while recovering others.

I do compount lifts, like Bench, Overhead, pull-ups and dead lifts. Those should be your mains.

I then isolate triceps and biceps. I do either rope tricep pull downs, or overhead extensions. Tricep pull downs are great in the beginning for building strength, then moving to free-weight overhead extensions.

Biceps, I do barbell curls, or preacher curl.

Can't really go wrong with the main lifts, and a little isolation.

Just make sure you're progressively overloading. Keep it simple, and don't stress.
