The Unusual Suspects fo' sho'
Not sure what your routine is, but I've found pull-ups work well to build the arms up. I plan on joining a gym when I move to London, and will be following the Starting Strength routine, if you know of it.

May well start doing pull ups then
Anything that can help will be appreciated. The only thing I tend to do in regards to my own bodyweight is tricep dips.

The only average-priced gym near me is always rammed
So I do bodyweight exercises too like pull-ups, press-ups, dips, straight leg raises, planks etc. Starting Strength is by a guy called Rippletoe, and you can find a book online that details everything, but it essentially boils down to doing barbell squats, bench presses, deadlifts etc. Compound lifts, essentially.

The one I'm at is £25 a month, run by an ex body builder, who is always more than willing to give advice
He's written me up a program, might ask him to change it a little, help me find ways of strengthening my arms.

Sounds good!
Like I said, compound lifts, but take it dead slow and get him or a mate to check your form.

I do something called concentration curls
Slow movements with a low weight, after 10 on each arm I feel like they're going to fall off.

Evil things.

They do sound evil!
I do progression pull-ups, so going from assisted, to half, to full, to assisted 1-handed, to 1 handed. I'm working on assisted 1-handed now, and they're killers.

ok I said this was dull and shit but I feel compelled to advise you to get a pull up bar.
Mine was a tenner in sainsbury's and it's the best thing I've ever bought (that wasn't cheesecake). You can do different kinds of pull ups, stomach crunches and handstands on it. Ok I'm done, continue being boring.

Cheers, shall take your advice!
