Subject: upper body strength
hi,i am 20 y old,and started triathlon about 1 year ago mostly to lose some excess weight...i chose triathlon because it also has swimming and not only running and cycling,so i would get some more muscle in the upper body,without hitting the gym...i,now, have managed to lose the extra weight (still have some belly fat though,but it will go away i am sure about that) but i haven't gain a lot of muscles in the arms,shoulders and back from swimming...however,in summer i plan to focus on swimming switcing from 2-3 that i do now to 5 swims per week...do you think i will see some results?? i know it is not so good for a triathlete to have big muscles,but i really want to both continue triathlon training and gain some muscle for 'beauty'...what do you think i should change in my nutrition too?? thanks in advance :D

I don't really strength train (because I never have and don't really know much about it) and feel like my lack of upper body strength is the reason why I'm not getting faster.

I may not have pre-pubescent hips or breasts and at 36 that would be ridiculous. I do not need to have an "airbrushed body" and why do I revere that?
