New Armwrestler - Looking for some tips

Hey all, I've always wanted to armwrestle properly but up until now its just been fun over a table with my college friends.

At the bar I work I saw there was a charity strong arm competition going, and thought it would be fun to enter.

I'd be going into the under 13stone category (sorry - UK measurements!) and i weigh in at around 11stone. - only 5'8''.

I'm not all that strong but my upper body is nicely defined, i work out at the gym 3 times a week atleast and play alot of table tennis so I've got some good muscle.

Basically I'm wondering whats the best way I can prepare for this in the next months. which techniques can I learn without the help of a proper partner / club as I won't be able to find one - all i have is the use of a proper gym.

Any links to good techniques, exercies to improve etc would be greatly appreciated :)

Hopefully i'll do well and enjoy it and carry on with arm wrestling after.
