So I'm in desperate need of some upper body strength in particular my arms.. I've decided I'm going to switch gyms and start going 2-3 times a week to do strength training. I was wondering if anyone who knows what they are doing could give me some advice and help on what I should focus on and do etc I'm just so terribly lost and overwhelmed with all of this. Any help would be much appreciated thanks x

    I've done a lot of reading and this is the best, free strength training it seems. I'm starting it today as I am bored of the baby weights the gym staff have me doing! Good luck :)

    Does your new gym offer personal training programmes? When I moved on to the free weights I booked in an hours session to get a plan together, I was worried about incorrect form and injury. I know in some gyms it costs quite a bit for a personal training session but it's worth it.
