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.
